Creative Wearables Fashion Show
Creative Wearables, a group of fiber artists focused on the wonderful world of wearable art, emphasizes creating handmade pieces of clothing and accessories designed as expressive art. Garments and accessories include upcycled, new, and “themed” challenges. Members may participate in runway shows, exhibits, and learn techniques throughout the year, as well as share ideas and their wearable art during meetings.
This Dare to Lead challenge Invited each artist to think of someone who inspired them. Then we created garments that represented some aspect of each of these leaders.
