The room, the designers making sketches and scraps of fabric scattered around on tables resembles an episode of "Project Runway."
But the scene was a March meeting of the Fashion Design Club of Nassau Community College in Garden City, N.Y., where students were recycling clothes from designer Eileen Fisher by making them into bags, wallets and pouches to sell on Earth Day., which arrives April 22.
The items ranging in price from $5 to $10, and will be sold through the marketing office in the A Cluster building on campus. Proceeds will go to the school's Fashion Scholarship Fund.
