WOW 2011

Has a great night on Friday at the World of Wearable Arts Awards Night. Did dinner at Trade Kitchen before hand who have a special WOW menu where they guarantee two courses in an hour. Then the show and awards which went on for around three hours, followed by cocktails at Foxtail afterwards until around 1 am.

This was the supreme award winner. Photos from Stuff.

The winner of the illumination section.

This lobster outfit was one of my favourites.

Until you have been to a WOW show, you don’t realise how much more than just a fashion show it is. The dancing, the singing, the sets all contribute to a great night just as much as the outfits and models do. It is a real show, in the full sense of the word.

The events centre gets very hot, and it is a long show, so the best investment you can make is a bottle of water to hydrate yourself during the show.
