Attend Wearable Art Show, New Zealand

Each year Wellington stages the Brancott Estate World of WearableArt™ Awards Show (WOW), an event that has grown from humble beginnings to become a global phenomenon.
Works of art designed to be worn on the human form come together in a dramatic show that combines theatre, dance, colour and movement.
The show has been described as “a rebellion against the mundane” where “Mardi Gras meets haute couture” and is a spectacle that has to be seen to be believed.

It’s New Zealand’s largest and most dynamic art event and has earned a major international following. Almost a third of entries for the Brancott Estate WOW® Awards Show come from around the world and many of the top awards are now won by international designers.
Brancott Estate WOW® Awards Show began in 1987 as a promotion for a rural art gallery when Nelson sculptor Suzie Moncrieff came up with the idea of exhibiting art in a live theatrical show.

Now the annual event is recognised as one of the leading wearable art shows in the world and the road to success is catalogued in a special museum in Nelson.
Wellington is New Zealand’s arts and culture capital and the 14-day Brancott Estate WOW® Awards Show season is backed up by plenty for visitors who appreciate creativity, artistic talents and good living.
The city is home to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the Royal New Zealand Ballet. It’s also known as the “coolest little capital in the world” – just  check out the coffee culture and vibrant urban buzz and you’ll soon see why.
