When Erin Gordon created and photographed dresses made of recycled material for a photography class, she didn\u2019t expect her designs to grab the attention of the NBC network.<\/p>\n
But they did. Last week, the 麻豆原创 senior\u2019s designs were on display at the NBC Experience Store, located in New York City\u2019s Rockefeller Center.<\/p>\n
Gordon\u2019s dresses were created for a socially conscious project she was assigned in the fall for an Image, Culture and Society course.<\/p>\n
\u201cI usually shoot fashion,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cI wanted to pair the idea of keeping the environment clean with fashion and photograph it in an editorial manner.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the class ended, Gordon decided to sell her dresses online, with the hope that someone would find a use for them. She put them for sale on Etsy, an online outlet for artists selling handmade goods.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn’t want to throw them away, but I didn’t really have space for them,\u201d Gordon explained. \u201cI put them online on the off chance that someone might want to buy or wear one of them to prom or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
Three months later, she was contacted by Etsy and NBC. Twice a year, the network hosts an environmental project that promotes recycling and green living. NBC partnered with Etsy and created a contest seeking photos of interesting recycling projects.<\/p>\n
Although Gordon hadn\u2019t entered her photos in the contest, her work caught the attention of NBC. Her dresses were showcased as part of the network\u2019s observance of Earth Week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that people saw my dresses in the NBC window and were inspired to think of recycling in a new way,\u201d said Gordon. \u201cBeing \u2018green\u2019 can be fun!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Erin Gordon created and photographed dresses made of recycled material for a photography class, she didn\u2019t expect her designs to grab the attention of the NBC network.
