Womanspace champions secondhand clothing on International Women’s Day

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — In honor of International Women’s Day, powerful women in the community made their voices heard by educating others about recycling.

Womanspace in Rockford held its second fashion show all about restyled and upcycled secondhand clothing. The nontraditional fashion show took place back in 2023 and was brought back this year.

The event served as a luncheon as well and guests had the chance to shop sustainable clothing from local artists.

Womanspace Founder Elaine Hirschenberger thinks the event is a great way to promote a sustainable environment.

“This was a wonderful, very practical way of people coming to know that the choices that we make really don’t have to be huge, but they have to be done by a lot of people in order to make a difference,” said Hirschenberger.

The founder said the audience doubled the amount they had the first year of the event.

Womanspace has its 50th annual Glitzy Garage Sale from June 6th through the 8th and its the You Say Cat Lady Like it’s a Bad Thing Event going on from now until April 27th.
