2023 Annual Wearable Art Fashion Show Theme is Evolutionary Design
For the 2023 annual Wearable Art Fashion Show on February 24, this year’s theme, Evolutionary Design, was inspired by the unique characteristics of various species of flora and fauna (both physical and behavioral attributes of a species). Fashion Show participants included students who participated in Fashion Show as a winter sport and also those taking MYP5 Art classes as an academic course unit. Students were introduced to ideas through David Attenborough’s Planet Earth series, in which they researched a chosen species that would inform their design. There were three kingdoms of life represented in the designs in our show: plant, animal, and fungi.

Students used a variety of materials to build their creations, most of which consisted of upcycled clothing and fabrics that were entirely transformed and reconstructed. Students also incorporated alternative materials, with examples ranging from chicken wire for structure, drinking straws as embellishment, and achieving texture by layering latex gloves!
