2024 Upcycled Fashion Show Recap
Experience the Runway Show on the Runway!
Welcome to the official recap of ArtPop Street Gallery’s premier 2024 event: our 4th Annual Upcycled Fashion Show & Fundraiser! Held on September 14th at the Sullenberger Aviation Museum, this is an art-filled spin on a runway fashion show with a focus on environmental sustainability. Here you can see everything that this lovely evening had to offer, including 14 stunning pieces of upcycled couture fashion, guest speakers & performances, auctions, and more!
What is the ArtPop Upcycled Fashion Show?
For this event, local fashion designers are hired to sustainably repurpose the retired artist billboards used in ArtPop’s Cities Program. Each designer receives a vinyl billboard “canvas” that has been printed with artwork, which they then transform into unique couture fashion pieces. These fashion pieces are then showcased on the runway at our Annual Upcycled Fashion Show, giving new life to the artwork while helping us reduce the environmental impact of our program - and it makes for an elegant and memorable event for our guests!
The Annual Upcycled Fashion Show is ArtPop’s primary fundraising event, and all proceeds directly support our mission of showcasing local artists and making art accessible to all. As you delve into the show, please consider making a donation or sponsoring future events!

Evening Gown by Designer Isiah Miller
Billboard Artist: Bryant Portwood | Model: Jasmine Lewis
First up, we have an evening gown created by returning designer Isiah Miller and modeled by Jasmine Lewis. Eye Miller LLC was founded by Clothing Designer & Creative Director Isiah Miller. Eye Miller is a manifestation of Isiah's passion for fashion and self-expression.
At 17, he took it upon himself to learn the art of sewing after struggling to find clothing and accessories that resonated with his personal style. As a self-taught designer, Isiah initially worked with a needle and thread, hesitant to use the sewing machine gifted to him by his sister's 12th-grade teacher. Eye Miller offers a range of everyday casual wear, including t-shirts, alongside custom and one-of-a-kind designs. The brand prides itself on inclusivity, striving to provide something for everyone.
Throughout his time in Charlotte, NC and Macon, Georgia, Isiah has showcased his creations at various venues and teaching sewing classes to people ready to take that journey to become their own Creative!
This dress is created on a couture concept of a flower hat Isiah calls "Grow Through What You Go Through." He says, “yes we may fall off, but we have to continue to water our garden.”
The Bodice is an A-line strapless dress, topped with flower petals to add volume and some embellishments to give a “little shine.”
Korean-Inspired Menswear by Designer Alex Lieberman
Billboard Artist: Lee Ko | Model: Luke Csordas | Ceramic Button Accessories by Lee Ko
Next up – meet Alex Lieberman of AWL Implements! Alex crafts durable and sustainable soft goods, using innovative repurposed materials including billboard vinyl.
It should come to no surprise this is Alex’s second Upcycled fashion show, having shown in the very first in 2021. Alex has also been a repeat hire for Inspiration Projects, crafting beautiful, utilitarian bags made from advertising materials.
This year he transformed Work By Lee Ko’s billboard into a new striking garment with finishing touches made by Lee herself. This collaborative masterpiece, modeled by Luke Csordas from Charlotte Ballet, draws inspiration from traditional Korean clothing. This look features elements like the hanbok-inspired wrap top and the “gat,” a hat worn during the Joseon period. Coincidentally, the billboard used showcases artwork by Charlotte-based Korean artist Lee Ko, with ceramic buttons crafted by Lee, directly referencing the billboard's artwork.
Alex crafts durable and sustainable soft goods, meticulously constructed from repurposed materials such as retired billboards, used sailboat sails, and other textiles. Driven by a passion for sustainability, AWL Implements reshapes the perception of fashion by creating pieces that are not only visually striking but also ethically conscious. With a dedication to reducing waste and repurposing materials, they epitomize the concept of upcycling, breathing new life into discarded resources.
Each AWL Implements’ creation is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, where every stitch and detail is carefully executed. The result is a collection of soft goods that effortlessly fuse practicality, durability, and artistic flair. From bags to clothing, each piece is a unique work of art, a reflection of the wearer's individuality, and a conscious step towards a more sustainable future.
1920’s Evening Gown by Designer Menia Paige
Billboard Artist: Addison Wahler | Model: Renee Welsh-Noel
Since graduating in 2019, our next designer, Menia Paige - called Paige by friends and family - is currently a full-time creative, operating Menia Paige LLC, which offers services as a designer, wardrobe consultant, tailor, creative director and set designer. She now channels her subtle yet eclectic alter ego, Menia, which pays tribute to her late grandmother, Wilhelmenia G. Reeves.
Paige’s gown, modeled by Renee Welsh Noel, is a beautiful blend of vintage and modern influences, combining the structured corsets of the 1920s with the flowing elegance of 1970s ball gowns. The design features striking panel detailing and a dramatic high-low mermaid silhouette that exudes both strength and grace.
What truly sets this piece apart is its innovative use of upcycled vinyl material. Paige has transformed what was once a beautifully-displayed billboard into extraordinary wearable art, making a powerful statement about sustainability in couture fashion. Paige says this gown is more than just a garment—it’s a celebration of transformation, resilience, and the limitless possibilities of imagination. At Menia Paige, they are inspired by the modern-eccentric woman who fearlessly embraces her individuality and every design is a tribute to the strong, creative women who inspire us.
With continued aspirations of owning a fashion company, Paige attended Alabama A&M University to study Fashion Design in 2015. While there, Paige maximized her ability to network through mentorship and understudying celebrity designers and tailors in Huntsville, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia. Paige credits her experiences as preparation when the opportunity arose to tailor for singer-songwriter Ashanti at the 2018 Espy Awards.
To build her business acumen, she led as co-owner of an on-campus alteration’s business and worked in top-producing fast fashion retail companies such as Forever 21 and globally renowned luxury retail brands such as David’s Bridal, Nordstrom, Kate Spade and Tory Burch.
Mens Streetwear by Brehon Williams
Billboard Artist: Andrea Brinkley | Model: Xavier Rashads
Growing up, our next designer, Brehon Williams, taught himself how to knit. He loved the different textures that could be achieved with different knits and pearls.
When given the choice of an artist, Andy Brinkley’s 2023 billboard stood out because her use of crocheting allowed all the texture to come to the forefront. Brehon was faced with the challenge of how to interpret her piece and yet marry it with his own style. He says, “It needed an explosion of texture, and it needed to be streetwear, to counter the rustic and homey vibe of the crochet.”
The result? An oversized bomber jacket with striped rib cuffs and bottom. The back of the jacket is created from woven strips to mimic the crocheting in the artwork and is modeled by Xavier Rashads. Cording and silver hardware is used to heighten the edge of the look. The pants are long and stacked with distressed and patch details. A pseudo-kilt belt adds dimension and more texture. A black simple t-shirt and boots complete the look. The only additional materials used were black lining (for the jacket and pants), knit jersey (for the t-shirt), ribbing (for the cuffs and bottom), and denim (for the kilt belt).
Brehon Williams is a native of Chesapeake, VA but currently resides in Charlotte, NC. He graduated from The Art Institute with his bachelors degree and is currently working on his master’s degree. Initially a womenswear-only designer, Brehon has expanded his portfolio to now include menswear. His bold, innovative, and forward-thinking aesthetic has allotted him the opportunity to participate in numerous shows across the United States.
Brehon has been honored to receive countless awards and won many design competitions. He is featured in national and international publications, such as Veer, New Pittsburgh Courier, Ink Magazine, and The Virginian Pilot.
Evening Gown by Rachel Malasky
Billboard Artist: Esther Moorehead | Model: Gretchen Heavner | Crown Accessory by Krystallin Loudermilk
We welcome back again to Upcycle our next designer, Rachel Malasky, who grew up as a third- generation seamstress, surrounded by the knowledge and tools she needed at her fingertips. Rachel could design and create anything she wanted – and she did!
Rachel says she was very lucky to be able to bring that into her adult life and make a living doing what she loves. Though much of what she does revolves around costuming, Rachel has always enjoyed blending fantasy with reality. This world needs all the beauty and fantasy it can get and she brings a little more to it, designing and making unique pieces for all ages and all types.
For her design, Rachel created a classic corseted high/low gown. She was inspired by the shades of blues in Esther Moorehead’s beautiful billboard, trying to recreate the feeling of waves in the ocean. Rachel used basic corset building techniques for the base and added each individually shaped "wave" one at a time. It is completely constructed from vinyl with metal wire to help with support and a satin slip for the model's comfort. Model Gretchen Heavner looks lovely as always in this transcendent piece and is thrilled to don a headpiece by 2024 ArtPop Cities Program artist Krystallin Loudermilk.
Rachel is a clothing designer, costume designer, and a third-generation seamstress. Growing up in a home with a talented seamstress was an amazing way to start her design career. She says, “Imagine being able to alter your clothes as much as you want? I loved being able to make my clothing look and fit my body a certain way.
I was the girl with the home-made prom dresses and the jeans tapered to within an inch of their life, unless I was sewing huge gussets in them to turn them into bell bottoms.”
Rachel says that making clothing from scratch, drawing her own patterns, and seeing what she imagines in her head come to life has been a priceless part of her life.
Two-Piece Dress by Rocio Llusca
Billboard Artist: Tina Vincent | Model: Gale Bonnell
Our next piece is from mixed media artist and fashion designer originally from Ecuador, Rocio Llusca. She has been living in Charlotte for the past 19 years, the city that has inspired many of her paintings. Rocio’s beautiful expressionistic art pieces are creations of her deep feelings that are well known for the use of vivid colors. Rocio believes in giving second opportunities to wasted and unused materials.
In 2015, she was selected as one of 20 ArtPop Street Gallery’s Cities Program artists, rewarded with her work on a billboard and on media spaces around the city. Rocio’s collection was showcased at the New York Fashion show in 2017 and at the Paris Fashion show in 2018. She also participated in local fashion shows, such as Fashion Excursion, Recycle the Runway at Northlake Mall and the Charleston Fashion Week with Opera Carolina. Rocio’s art is a statement of unity, creativity and diversity. Rocio states that her art is a revelation of her inner thoughts and emotions expressed through unique designs and colors.
Rocio’s model, Gale Bonnell, works for Adams Outdoor Advertising, where our own Wendy Hickey worked and was inspired to start ArtPop, they have been friends for 26 years!
The name of her design is "Vida,” which is a two-piece dress that embodies both elegance and boldness. This dress is inspired by nature. The design captures the essence of joy found in each bloom of the vinyl with its vibrant colors. Rocio celebrates nature by crafting unique pieces that reflect her creativity in all details of her designs.
Western Cowboy Menswear by Jamie Lykes II
Billboard Artist: Haley Horner | Model: Jamie Lykes Sr. | Hand-Painted Cowboy Hats by Haley Horner
Next up, we have a fashion piece from returning artist Jamie Lykes II.
Jamie says, “While most kindergarteners were having the conversation of what they wanted to be when they grew up, I watched my mother battle a life-threatening illness known as lupus that fluctuated her weight and never allowed her to be as stylish as she wanted.” Jamie made it his goal to one day make clothes that would make every woman feel beautiful inside and out, no matter her shape or size.
During his senior year of high school, his father made it clear that he wouldn’t allow him to pursue fashion as a major in college unless he was able to show him that he would be serious and focused…so that’s what he did. Throughout high school, Jamie taught himself how to sew by practicing on his mother and ladies within his church community. He received his bachelors in Fashion Merchandising and Retail Marketing at Johnson & Wales University.
While in college, he studied Fashion Design during an abroad program for 4 months attending Florence University of the Arts in Florence, Italy, where he designed the closing piece for their 2020 fashion show. He is the proud owner of Jay La-Mars LLC and you could describe his style as “Apostolic Renaissance.”
Jamie says where there are horses, there are cowboys. His outfit here embodies just one of the African American men that accounted for up to an estimated 25% of cowboys in the American West from the 1860s to the 1880s.
The 3-piece look features a western-style trench coat with splashes of manipulated billboard materials that bring the jacket to life. The pant has been layered with cutouts of the billboard creating a leather-chaps illusion which cowboys normally wore to protect their legs from any environmental hazard. At the base he has a standard vest button which more modern cowboys incorporate into their wardrobe. And Jamie’s dad and his model, Jamie Lykes Senior, wears it all well on the runway!
Jamie says his dad is a man who is a living example of what strength looks like and who provides for his household even when it feels like the whole world is against him. He says: “Now that’s a cowboy!”
Tipi Dress by Luko Marion
Billboard Artist: Anna Dean | Model: Sie Snow
Next up – Artist Luko Marion who is new to Upcycle this year! When 2023 Cities program artist Anna Dean’s artwork meets Upcycle artist Luko Marion‘s imagination – here’s what you get:
It’s an architectural dress honoring not just the colors from Anna Dean’s piece, but also the structure of the intimacy between the different uses in her art. Luko says to recreate an art piece from a billboard and to represent a blend of the two artists was not only a challenge, but it also became an inspiration in so many ways.
The result is the Tipi dress, worn by model Sie Snow! Weather resistant, fashionable and water-proof are the main qualities of this dress, but like Luko who always creates from his heart, he wants to protect culture and authenticity of his work.
Originally from Montreal, Luko is an extraordinary multidisciplinary artist. Truly self-taught, Luko has been able to strengthen his solid reputation as a bold, avant-garde and timeless designer. Personalities in the film, television, musical and artistic industry are seduced by his unique creations. Luko’s conceptual universe and ability to consistently innovate, his ingenuity in the reinvention of styles, fashion and materials, his audacity in the liberation of codes, taboos, mind and body have also earned him great media visibility and many distinctions.
Many people have said he loves the color black so much that he OWNS it.
Mens Streetwear by Terrell Milton, Jr.
Billboard Artist: Leigh B. Williams | Model: John Jefferies
Our next look is from a newcomer to Upcycle, artist Terrell Milton, Junior!
Terrell’s streetwear brand, called “I Sew For Food,” is inspired by “the valley of shadows” with design silhouettes that pull from 80’s hip hop/punk, and 90’s urban/grunge eras.
He has been designing for 11 years, learning how to sew in a denim shop, so denim is his first love and favorite fabric to work with. The original dream was to just make a pair of jeans and walk out with them on, but instead, he discovered his passion for sewing and designing!
Terrell’s outfit here is a classic men’s streetwear look. This look is inspired by the work of Leigh B. Williams, including a pair of men’s pants with a flair that are made with the billboard art material in the front and with denim cutouts that have the material peeking out on the back.
It also includes a jacket with the same design aesthetic with denim cutouts on the back to match the paints.
The third piece has a ribbed collar like a bomber jacket with a tee shirt designed with the ArtPop logo and on the back, I Sew For Food and Leigh’s name as a collaboration tee but with a street vibe.
There is an accessories element with a cross-body pouch and shopping bag style bag also featured. Model John Jefferies is wearing a pair of tan Adidas shoes from Rack Room Shoes that just brings all the colors together and really “pops” the entire look.
Japanese Kimono Dress by Que Blankenship
Billboard Artist: Chad Cartwright | Model: Imani Mustaf
Surprisingly, our returning Upcycle artist, Que Blankenship, became a hairstylist to be a part of fashion shows, as she secretly battled with being known as a fashion designer.
It was always her dream to go to New York Fashion Week. So, in 2019, when she was asked to be the Head Hairstylist for an up-and-coming fashion designer, Que thought she would “float away into outer space due to her excitement.”
And, as a native of Charlotte, it has always been Que’s dream to build a fashion life here and not have to relocate to a big, overwhelming city to express herself artistically through fashion. She says, “ArtPop Street Gallery makes that possible for people like me."
Chad Cartwright’s 2023 billboard immediately made Que think of the traditional Japanese artistic depiction of a seascape, where the waves are filled with curved lines and the wave’s crest is pure white with tendril-like shapes. Que says there is so much movement, contrast, and rhythm in his artwork. The rhythm flows and connects a visual story between each artistic segment. She wanted to simulate that in her design by creating each panel of the dress out of each of the separate pieces. As an ode to the Japanese design style, Que designed a sharp-shoulder kimono with a draping obi, worn by model Imani Mustaf. Traditionally, obis are bound tightly, but she wanted the obi to flow as an inspiration of Japanese waters.
Despite having her work featured in Brides Magazine, being involved in New York Fashion Week, and twice in Charlotte Fashion Week, and being able to do media and editorial work as a hairstylist, Que is thrilled to be supported as the main character of her own story and for people to see her work as a fashion designer here in Charlotte.
Filipiniana Evening Gown by Edelweiss Vogel
Billboard Artist: Rebecca Lipps | Model: Eilleen De Guzman
Next up, we have Edelweiss Vogel, a visual artist and art educator, who grew up in the Philippines and moved to the U.S. when she was 18. She has a B.F.A. degree in studio arts with a concentration in illustration and K-12 Art Education Graduate Certificate. Edelweiss teaches visual art at Brawley IB World School. This is her third appearance in an ArtPop Upcycle Fashion Show AND she was a 2022 ArtPop Artist as well!
Her love for fashion started at a young age after watching her grandmother make dresses for one of the well-known designers in the Philippines, making her first dress at 13 to wear during the United Nation Day in school.
Edelweiss enjoys making Avant-Garde dresses from unconventional and recycled/collected materials, including participation in the 2019 Paris Fashion Week in Paris, hosted by Oxford Studio and sponsored by Opera Carolina.
With this look, she wanted to highlight her heritage by continuing her ongoing Filipiniana manifesto, with this dress celebrating her cultural heritage. Featuring a sweetheart neckline, the dress showcases the iconic Filipiniana butterfly sleeves and a layered skirt adorned with colorful, graceful visible lining. Edelweiss included rattan in the sleeves, a woven natural fiber that resembles woven fabric. It enhances the dress's texture and symbolizes strength, resilience, and unity. Its intricate weaving process embodies the values of community collaboration and the connection between nature and human life.
In the Philippines, textiles and clothing tell the stories and showcase the craftsmanship of various tribes and communities across the archipelago.
Two-Piece Evening Gown by Sarah Grace Simas
Billboard Artist: Emily Batson | Model: Summer Vangastle | Cuff Bracelet Accessory by Jill Melyssa
We are honored once again to have our student artist, Sarah Grace Simas, back at Upcycle Fashion Show!
Currently in her sophomore year at NC State Wilson studying fashion and textile design, Sarah Grace was featured as a student designer for ArtPop’s Upcycled Fashion Show in 2023 and we are grateful to have her back again at Upcycle!
Sarah Grace discovered her love for sewing during the pandemic in 2020 when she picked up sewing as a hobby. She has been designing clothing ever since.
While studying at the Wilson College of Textiles, Sarah Grace has worked on a variety of projects including designing textile prints, creating products such as bags and stuffed animals, as well as designing and sewing clothing. Sarah Grace is involved with various organizations on campus including Feye Seye, a textiles fraternity, and participating as a stylist for Platform, which is a student-run fashion magazine at NC State.
Outside of Sarah Grace’s passion for design, she has a strong love for traveling and the outdoors. Her admiration of the outdoors serves as a source of inspiration for her designs and the beauty of nature continues to be a constant muse in her creative process.
Sarah Grace also values sustainability and considers it to be an important part of the design. The fashion industry tends to generate lots of waste and in order to limit her contributions to the issue Sarah Grace aims to use second-hand fabrics in her designs. She also works on utilizing any of her leftover fabrics in new and creative ways. Sarah Grace plans to pursue a career in sustainable high fashion after graduating from NC State.
Her look here is a two-piece gown featuring a drop waist corset top with an open slit along the skirt. The gown is completed with golden flowers decorating the bodice and branching up off the shoulder. The floral design was created using collected plastic bottles which were cut, painted, and pieced into flowers. This design was created using Emily Batson’s 2023 billboard. The artist's work features a grand sycamore tree with green and golden leaves branching out.
Emily Batson's artwork was a strong source of inspiration for designer Sarah Grace. She wanted to bring the artwork to life and emphasize how nature is such an essential part of the design process. The outfit is completed with gold accessories and a stunning arm cuff which was designed and created by Jill Melyssa, a sculptural jewelry designer.
The biggest obstacle encountered while designing this look was maintaining the elegant and sleek silhouette Sarah Grace wanted to achieve while also making a statement with her design and challenging herself to do something unexpected and new.
The gown is modeled by Summer Vangastle, who brings the design to life and is absolutely killing it on the runway.
Japanese-Inspired Kimono by Will White, Jr.
Billboard Artist and Model: Will White, Jr.
Our final designer in our 2024 ArtPop Upcycled Fashion Show is also our model – Will White Junior! Our triple threat: billboard, designer and model!
For the past 19 years, Will has been a self-taught fashion designer and illustrator. From custom book bag prototypes, to gowns, to outerwear and even his wife’s wedding dress, Will has taken on a lot of different design projects, all with the aim to give them his own fresh touch. Will is truly inspired by everything around him, from Art to Music to Film – he just loves downloading new ideas and seeing how he can push his work further.
Originally born in New York City, raised in New Jersey, and now living in Charlotte, Will has truly seen a lot at the ripe age of 37. While visual artists use paint, brushes, and canvas, Will creates his brand of art with textiles, threads, and a lot of imagination. Will says, “As I continue on my own journey as a business owner, husband, and father, one thing that’s clear is that I truly love being able to make art in the form of fashion.”
This year Will is showing a chimney-flared pant fitted through the hip with a floor hem. The top is a sleeveless oversized swing Kimono with a contrasting collar.
The next piece is a hi-lo mixed print kimono keeping in theme with his 2023 billboard image, but displayed uniquely like only Will can! With his affinity toward fusing high fashion and fine art his work gives a nod to the theme of flight, which is fitting given our new space this year.
To round out the look, Will has created a whimsical tote in the shape of a cat in homage to his cat “LeFrye Tyrell Daddy White,” who passed away at the top of the year after being Will’s design assistant and right hand for 12 years. Will says “This one’s for you Frye Daddy!”
