  • SAVAGE at Cedarhurst

    There’s fashion — and then there’s SAVAGE, the wildly inventive upcycled fashion show that has become one of Cedarhurst Center for the Arts’ most talked-about events of the year. Held in Mt. Vernon’s beloved arts hub, this vibrant runway experience celebrates creativity, community, and sustainability in ways you truly have to see to believe.

    SAVAGE isn’t your typical fashion show — it’s an artistic playground where designers and models transform everyday recycled and upcycled materials into runway-ready ensembles. What started as a local challenge has grown into a signature event that draws imaginative creators from around the region.
