Columbia Fashion Week and Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina are proud to invite the community to “Thrift the Runway: Threads of Change,” a free fashion event that shines a light on sustainability, creativity, and the power of second chances. The event will be held on Saturday, June 28 from 12 PM to 2 PM at Goodwill, 4708 Sunset Blvd, Lexington, SC.

This unique fashion show, styled entirely with thrifted pieces from local Goodwill’s by the Columbia Fashion Week Style Team, will highlight how reused and repurposed clothing can be transformed into stylish and thoughtful looks. But more importantly, the event is a powerful reminder that fashion can be a tool for positive impact—both environmentally and socially.

“Thrift the Runway is more than just a fashion show—it’s a community moment,” said Juliette Muller, CEO of Columbia Fashion Week. “We’re using style to start conversations—about sustainability, about supporting our neighbors, and about seeing potential where others might not. We’re honored to collaborate with Goodwill to bring that vision to life.”

This partnership goes beyond the clothes. Goodwill and Columbia Fashion Week have worked hand-in-hand to bring people together. It’s an opportunity to uplift voices that too often go unheard and showcase the talent and creativity that exists in every corner of our community.

“At Goodwill, we empower thousands of South Carolinians each year to see value in themselves and their communities,” said Chunsta Miller, Goodwill’s Vice President of Communication & Public Engagement. “This event is another way we hope to inspire our neighbors and help them feel their best so they can do their best in all aspects of their lives.”

The event is free and open to the public, and all are welcome to come support local talent, learn more about sustainable fashion, and celebrate the work Goodwill does across the region—from job training and workforce development to helping individuals gain confidence and independence.
