The Coast’s first Wear Your Art Out show was designed to showcase local young creatives, which organiser Kim Boyd of Estuary Arts Centre says was a standout success.
Alongside an exhibition at Estuary Arts, the fashion show was held on August 6 at HBC Youth Centre.
In addition to young people making wearable art pieces, all the dancers and models in the show were under 20 years of age.
As well as wearable art, there were circus acts, a children’s catwalk, Ōrewa College dance group and plenty of interaction with the audience.
The three shows attracted good audience numbers of around 100, with one sold out.
Kim says the success of the shows mean it is possible another will be held next year.
“It really embodied our young talent here on the Coast,” she says.
