Creating fashion at Bonnaroo's Alter-Nation art pod
Everywhere I looked at Bonnaroo I saw people expressing themselves with avant-garde fashion, handmade clothing and fun costumes.

Anyone is welcome to select a piece of clothing from a free, open air "thrift store" and remake it into something new. After creating your design with the provided paints, stencils, screen-printing and sewing equipment, you could then take a stroll down the runway to show off your new look then either keep it to wear, or leave it on the rack for someone else.
