Teens spent Tuesday afternoon turning trash into fashion as a part of the Hays Public Library’s Trash ‘n’ Show program.

The library has a variety of programs scheduled this week during spring break for children of all ages as well as adults. Click here for more information.

The theme for the fashion show is the “Future is Now.” The students designed outfits and costumes. The youth will show off their designs during at public fashion show at 5:30 p.m. March 27 in the Schmidt Gallery on the ground floor of the library.

Mylissa Molnar, 12, Hays, designed a tie for her friend, Christopher Isbell, 14, Hays.

“I just found something, and I used it,” she said.

The front of the tie was decorated with bottle caps and can lids. Christopher also wore a hat with horns and sported a pair of shades.

Molnar also repurposed an umbrella into a jellyfish.

Justus Nelson, 11, Hays, patterned his costume from Neo on the “Matrix.”

“This would be what Neo would wear if he went to a party and was not in the matrix,” he said.

“This is very fun,” he said. “It is a super nice day outside. I stopped by the library and decided to join in.”
