✨ The Elemental Experiences

New in 2025 | Recycle the Runway: Elements of Fashion

This year, we’re igniting a whole new level of energy at Recycle the Runway with something bold, beautiful, and interactive — introducing The Elemental Experiences! Inspired by the natural elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, these four stations invite you to explore empowerment through creativity, self-expression, and play — all while supporting the mission of Dress for Success Quad Cities.

🌿 Earth – The Floral Element Bloom Bar

Celebrate growth and grounding as you build your own custom bouquet using fresh, seasonal blooms. Take home a little piece of beauty and intention — a reminder that when women grow, communities flourish.

💨 Air – The Windfall of Money

Step into the cash grab tunnel! Snag your windfall and use your “earnings” to shop Dress for Success items. It’s fun, fast-paced, and fabulous — just like the women we serve.

🔥 Fire – The Fire Within Candle Bar

Craft a signature intention candle using one of our custom blends: Ember, Ignite, or Sacred Flame. Each scent is designed to reflect the spark within you — light it, and let your power shine.

💧 Water – Water to Wine Pull

Draw a mystery wine bottle and toast to transformation! Every pull supports our mission — and adds a little sparkle to your evening.

The Elemental Experiences are open throughout the evening, so be sure to visit all four! Each experience offers a fun and meaningful way to connect with the event — and contribute to the success of women across the Quad Cities.
