Amazing! Stunning! Beautiful!
One of the most remarkable cultural success stories over the past
25 years in New Zealand has been the spectacular growth of the World of
WearableArt®, an annual competition and award show that explores the
intersection of fashion and art.
This unique event, which draws an audience in Wellington of over
45,000 people every year, has encouraged an explosion of creative activity,
inspiring a wide range of fashion designers, artists, costume makers and other
designers from all over the world to participate.
Expanding on earlier editions of WearableArt books, WearableArt has been completely
revised in a lavish large format with all new photographs. It features the best
garments that have been entered over recent years, both in a studio setting
with closeup details, as well as photographs taken onstage during the WOW
Awards show. This book is a remarkable celebration of the diversity and
creativity of wearable art, and anyone with an interest in fashion, design and
the craft arts will find it utterly inspirational.
