THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF
WEARABLE ARTS

On this page you will find photos of wearable arts garments I have created.

"Green Green Grass" 2012 WOW finalist - South Pacific Section - elegant structure, natural tones, simple materials, green & clean - reflections of New Zealand. This garment received an Honourable Mention.

"Mexi-Kahlo" 2012 WOW finalist - Illumination Illusion Section - a study in reverse chromatology - Frida Kahlo's style & finesse showcased in monochrome.

"Vivaldi's Muse" 2011 WOW finalist - Open Section. Created using traditional Venetian mask-making techniques the garment is mostly made of artists' canvas and has a iridescent sheen

"Hayfever Gone Haywire" 2011  WOW finalist - Illumination Illusion Section. This garment is fluoro, and glows and moves like it's alive! It is currently on display at the Nelson WOW museum until November 2012.  



It's a great privilege to be part of a truly spectacular event which has become an iconic one on the local cultural calendar and is now gaining international recognition.

Also shown here is "Masquerade Escapade" - female Jolly and male Jester. The masks are based on traditional Venetian style.

Also "Bosom Buddies: A Day at the Races" - a bizarre bra.
