WOW Gallery
Garments displayed in the WOW Gallery include the 2005 Montana Supreme WOW Award Winner by Mike Ward of Nelson. Titled The Emperor's Entourage, this painted canvas piece was chosen as the winner for its witty commentary on body image and the ingenuity of its design.
Other garments to look out for include Pectun Shedding Her Skin by Rodney Leong of Auckland. This garment (shown right) is the winner of the Latitude Nelson Birthplace of WOW award and also won the Tourism New Zealand Avant Garde section. This stunning piece is made entirely of recycled zips - each interwoven to make a visually beautiful garment.
Cosi Fan Tuti by Chloe McGlashen of Wellington will also be a feature in the new exhibition. Originally from Brightwater, local girl Chloe left for the bright lights of Wellington and found herself inspired by the lines of Christian Dior clothing. Cosi Fan Tuti was a favourite among show-goers in Wellington and was named the winner of the Dominion Post People's Choice award and highly commended in the Tourism New Zealand Avant Garde Section.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to see the spectacular 2005 Montana WOW Awards garments.
