“Revive + Recreate,” Athens Fashion Collective’s sixth fashion show since its launch in 2010, continues the group’s goal of showcasing locally made, sustainable fashion through the latest designs by Zidisha Dambuza, Amy Flurry, Shawna Lea Maranville, Colleen Quinn, Lindsey Simunec, Laurel Wells and Community Service. The show will be held downtown on the second floor of the newspaper building in Suite 220, a new event space with a raw, industrial vibe and large windows overlooking treetops. As an extension of promoting sustainability, the group has begun considering how to revive local manufacturing through future projects. Event sponsor Epting Events, which recently moved into a former formalwear production facility, still houses a number of leftover industrial sewing machines and cutting tables, and AFC hopes to eventually revive the tools through small scale production. AFC’s Fall Show admission is $10 or $7 with a student ID. “Revive + Recreate” is from 8–10 p.m.
