Staff Picks: Wearable art

Off the Wall : the World of Wearable Art photography by Martin de Ruyter, Neil Price, Rohit Chawla and Daniel Rose.

Be inspired by some of the beautiful, complex and controversial designs from New Zealands unique World of Wearable Arts festival. Held every year in Wellington, the festival has grown exponentially since its inception in Nelson in 1987 and has garnered world wide acclaim. However, this post must issue a warning - this book features a brassiere made from taxidermied Budgerigars!

Our books on the wearable art phenomenon can be found primarily in the ‘Arts & Crafts - Non Fiction’ zone on the First Floor at the Central Library and also at our branches. You can also visit the WOW: World of Wearable Art website for information about this years event.
