Share your creations in three categories: Classic, Quirktacular, and Upcycle/Recycle. Show off a showpiece of wearable art in our fashion show, and be eligible for cash prizes.

Entry Details

1. Each entry is for one “runway walk” of wearable art/apparel. The model may be the artist, but need not be. The “runway walk” may be a single item (like a sweater or dress) or an ensemble consisting of multiple pieces. Wearable art/apparel could be clothing items, accessories (including bags), jewelry, etc.  
2. The judges will respond most strongly to pieces that honor the spirit of the category (see tips below). For example, the Classic category is quite different than the Quirktacular or Upcycle/Recycle category.
3. Be sure to arrive & register by 2:30pm (contest begins at 3pm). Walk-in & same-day registrations only. 

In each category, a three-person panel will select a noteworthy creation for a cash prize. 

Helpful (maybe) hints:

For Classic: think about lacework patterns, classic cables, fair isle, as well as traditional Cornish patterns, like ganseys or knit frocks.

For Quirktacular: think about mixing styles, felted bobbles, costume-inspired looks, non-traditional materials, and boldly going where no one else has gone. 

For Upcycle/Recycle, think about remaking materials and clothes into something new—maybe you’re into visible mending, or remaking vintage clothes into something contemporary with a unique twist.
