Due to weather concerns, Fleurish: A Sustainable Fashion Event (and Ijams fundraiser!) has moved to a new location on June 14 from 6-9 p.m. This eco-friendly, sustainable runway show will now be held at The Brookside, 1221 N Central St, Knoxville, TN 37917.
Celebrating its fifth anniversary, Fleurish is a collaborative runway show celebrating how sustainability, conservation, and beauty intertwine with our lives and our future.
Local designers, hair stylists, and makeup artists have joined forces to create amazing designs that incorporate sustainable materials and innovative recycling methods, reusing what was once discarded.
This year’s event promises the most vibrant theme yet: Technicolor. Drawing focus to the environmental impacts of artificial intelligence and the antihuman nature of its design, Fleurish stands as a determined antithesis, championing the power of creativity and community.
During the cocktail hour from 6-7 p.m., guests will enjoy appetizers from Potchke Deli while they visit education stations and learn about conservation efforts in the fashion realm. Then it’s time to see what imagination can do with reusable, recycled materials when 100 models of all ages take to the runway. Live music will be performed by Feral Kitty and Jorden Albright.
Fleurish 2026: Technicolor is sponsored by Kara Hudgens Photography, Boston Beer Company, Flock Beer & Wine, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Jim McMichael Signs & Truck Painting, Marc Nelson Denim, Beauty & Style Network, The Independent Funeral Group, and KnoxFill.
