Wearable Art Show

As promised in my last blog post, here is a video and some photos of the amazing work from this year's Fashion Artillery Show.
This show featured 36 different pieces from about 27 different artists.




I would recommend muting the sound for this video as the background noise can get rather obnoxious. As I was modeling my own piece, I wasn't able to create a video of my own so am posting one that was taken by someone from Broward College's North Campus Art Club.


Next to me, Amanda Thompson models her piece 'To Meme, With Love', which used magazines, cardboard food boxes and aluminum can scraps





Sandra Kuba's piece 'Epiphyte' made using airplants and moss



 
Kes Elliot's pieces 'All Tomorrow's Parties' featuring hand-painted hoodies and jeans


 
A collaborative piece entitled 'Sweet Nothings' using candy and candy wrappers




 
Page R. Burow's piece 'The Cartographer's Daughter' made from maps




 
Eden Manresa's piece 'Aqua' used melted down plastic bags for parts of it


 
Jennifer Love Gironda's piece 'Floral Bridal Gown' used recycled paper


 
Jessica Benton Kelty's pieces 'Haute Bath' and 'Oodles of Pool Noodles' used shower caps, bath loofas, pool noodles and pool towels




 
Amy Shannon's piece 'Craft Vodka Couture' featured over 300 cardboard bottle neck tags and over 100 copper bottle tops






 
Alexandra Kirschner's piece 'Dare to Wear' featured a top made of sea glass


 
Karen Chandler's 'Elven Mischief' which recycled old sweaters


 
The back of Sarah Buchanan's piece 'Bloom' which featured plastic bags and had strings of lights within the train




Joni Sarah White's piece 'Year of the Horse' used an old English saddle, Sisel rope and porcupine quills



 
Julie Silk Beaumont's piece 'The Spring Collection' used plastered gauze and paint


 
Aidana Baldassarre's piece 'Wedding News' used recycled newspaper
 
Of the pieces shown, do you have a favorite? Have you ever created a piece using unconventional materials? What material do you think will eventually work it's way into mainstream fashion?
