World of Wearable Art

World of WearableArt (WOW) is an internationally recognised[1] design competition, attracting entries from more than 40 countries each year.[2] The competition features wearable art entries, which are judged on durability, the safety and comfort of the models, and the impact of the design on the stage.[1] During the three weeks of the competition, around 60,000 people attend the event in Wellington.[1]
