World of WearableArt (WOW) is an organization that promotes creative fashion designing and works on bringing them into the real world. They started the Annual WOW awards with the idea introduce new designers into the world by bringing them into a big stage.
As part of the competition, an incredible stage show is put on in New Zealand that draws in designers from all over the world working on the cutting edge of fashion, art, design, costume, and theatre.
We could see many artistic, dramatic, and ingenious outfits on display at this year’s WOW Awards Show. Kate MacKenzie won the show with her “Wanton Widow” dress. In the gallery below, you can see some of this year’s best outfits.
They have also provided a chance to join them as a designer And also if you wish to participate in this great competition. They are looking for entries targeting the competition of the World Of WearableArt Competition 2023.
