Wearable art never gets old, just more inventive.
Appreciative audiences came to McCurdy Pavilion at Fort Worden on May 7 for two performances of the sixth annual Port Townsend Wearable Art Show.
Wearable art melds art and fashion, using the human form as part of an artistic piece.
Artist Lyn Glaviano of Eugene, Oregon, was judged to have created the Best of Show entry. The traje de flamenco dress, named “El Vestido Duende” (Dress of Spirit), was created from 500 vintage hankies.
Port Townsend student and model Emillia Nunn, 12, was judged Best Student Design for her “Crazy Card Creation,” a piece reflecting her obsession with Japanese anime.
Proceeds from the Wearable Art Show go directly to the Jefferson County Community Foundation Fund for Women and Girls, which awards grants to girls and women for programs that foster self-esteem, self-reliance and empowerment.
Show cochairs were Margie McDonald, Marla Althouse and Debbi Steele, and the judge was Tony Gorzycki. The show's primary sponsor was First Federal.
