Australian Wearable Art Festival: Australian Wearable Art Festival
9 August @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEST
Fashion and art lovers alike will be impressed by over 40 international and national wearable art works showcased on a 27-metre-long catwalk. A show of the dramatic, the playful and the creative, audiences will be inspired and delighted by the craftsmanship and innovation behind each piece from the moment they arrive at the Australian Wearable Art Festival.
Featuring three electrifying shows, a gala event on Saturday night announces the Festival’s winners. The four categories capture the imagination: Trashion (a creation that must be at least 80% reused trash bringing to life common waste items or materials), Sustainable Nature (a piece that showcases the natural environment and must be able to biodegrade back into the earth once worn), Avant Garde (pushing all the artistic boundaries with no limits on new, reused or natural materials) and Floriana (working with all things botanical).
