World of Wearable Art exhibit at Seattle’s MoPop
I recently wrote about the Yves St Laurent exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum, but there is another fashion exhibit currently showing in the city at the Museum of Pop Culture (formerly known as the Experience Music Project). A friend and I went to see the World of Wearable Art show which features winning looks from New Zealand’s international design competition. The fashions all were constructed using unconventional materials — fiberglass, wood veneer, plastic, old tires, etc. These artists’ imaginations are off the charts! I loved the hybrid offerings, a marriage of art and fashion. Here are a few samples:
The venue, a building designed by Frank Gehry, is as stunning as the exhibits in the show:
The Museum of Pop Culture is on the grounds of the Seattle Center. Just look for the Space Needle, which stands as sentry over the grounds.
