THE 2019 WORLDS OF WOW
AOTEAROA
New Zealand has its own deep sense of
place. Draw on that to celebrate who we
are as peoples and what makes us proud.
From our rich cultures and history to our
landscapes, our independence to our
inventions. Show us New Zealand and
New Zealanders as you see us.
On Reflection, Philippa Stichbury, Australia

AVANT-GARDE
A world that is experimental, radical and
unorthodox; a rebellion against the norm.
Dare to defy the boundaries of fashion and
create a work that is cutting-edge, rejecting
the ordinary and nurturing originality.

THE 2019 WORLDS OF WOW
MYTHOLOGY
Be inspired by other worlds and
dimensions; explore fantastical stories
of fearsome monsters and creatures,
gods and goddesses, demigods and
supernatural humans.
Gather your inspiration from a vast
treasure trove of tales. Dark and
mysterious; exuberant and outlandish;
ethereal and dreamy.
Hylonome, Mary Wing To, United Kingdom
THE 2019 WORLDS OF WOW
OPEN
A world with no thematic boundaries
giving you complete freedom to explore
and create your own design.
The only limit is your imagination.
Cube, Adam McAlavey, United Kingdom
THE 2019 WORLDS OF WOW
TRANSFORM
Create a work that changes in form, nature
and appearance.
Play and innovate with different
mechanisms for revealing unexpected
aspects of your garment. The transformation
could be playful and humourous, or it may
be striking and startling.
Show us an extraordinary metamorphosis.
Behind Closed Doors, Kathryn Preston & Angie Robinson, New Zealand
THE 2019 WORLDS OF WOW
擄HITE
Representing a spectrum of emotions,
white is associated with peace, light, love,
perfection, purity and spirituality. In some
parts of the world, white represents death
and mourning; in others it is associated
with angels, good health and time. What
does white conjure up in your imagination?
Inspiration may be found in sheer
simplicity, sculptural boldness, intricate
detail or experimenting with layers, light
and shadow, proportion or scale.
There are no shades of pure white because
the colour is the combination of all colours.
Note: garments in this section may, at times, be
coloured with stage lighting and AV projection.
