World of Wearable Arts

This year is the 24th year of WOW. I’ve been going for around seven or eight years, and have to say I think this year’s may have been the best ever. It is such a fantastic show. Until you have attended one, you think it is just a fashion show, but it is so much more than that.

The initial act with the children was creative genius. Loved it. And it was a cheesy but superb finale with a Flash Gordon theme. The illumination section not as good as some years, but overall I though the show set a new high.

My favourite item was the human purse. Surprised it did not win something.

Normally my guesses for the award winners are pretty spot on, but this year was a bit surprised by some of the winners, including the supreme award.

Stuff has a photo gallery here.

Stats Girl and I grabbed dinner at Shed 5 beforehand. They did a special WOW menu which was very reasonably priced, saw quick service and was at usual, deliciously cooked.
