[Updated] At the Direct Action Fashion Show

Last night, The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) on Avenue C presented a Direct Action Fashion Show. Per the organizers: "Celebrate how activists use costumes, puppets, and props to draw awareness to various environmental, social, and political issues and create positive, sustainable change."

By all accounts, it was a festive (and colorful!) evening. See for yourself in these photos by Brian Caron ... (Find more of his work here.)







Find more photos on the MoRUS Facebook page.

And here's a video by Paul DeRienzo showing the grand finale with all the models on the runway...



Here are the grass suits in action...



And an overview of the whole evening...
