Seniors find a new purpose for fashions at Belmont Village show
La Jolla senior-living community puts newly created fashion line made from donated clothing on display during runway show.
Morney Wolfson, a resident of Belmont Village La Jolla, models an piece from the senior-living community’s newly created fashion line made from donated clothing items during a runway show Sept. 8 in Aliso Viejo in Orange County. The project, which also had participation from the Belmont Village locations in Aliso Viejo, Rancho Palos Verdes, Cardiff by the Sea, Sabre Springs and Scottsdale, Ariz., was designed to emphasize the importance of sustainability and upcycling — reusing something so it becomes more valuable than the original.
