There is a competition here every year called the World of Wearable Art. We decided to take a night off from unpacking and fussing and get out on the town.
Artists from all over the world create costumes/clothing the idea to see who is the most creative with not just the ideas, but with the artistic work itself. There are theme categories as well as open and avantgarde. This year they had a bizarre bra competition.
The costumes are modeled like a fashion show with mostly women, some men, parading down a catwalk and around a stage. We were not allowed to take photos during the show. We could only take photos of the preshow warm up. The Atlantic Magazine had an article about it here. There are photos there. Here is another.
We had pretty good seats but it was hard to appreciate the work involved in creating the costumes/art. You have to be up close to see the fine details. The photos published by The Atlantic show that.
I am going to think very hard about whether I can try this. It might be fun and there is no real pain involved so, why not?
