The Montana World of WearableArtT Awards Show (WOW) is a globally renowned arts & fashion extravaganza, held every September in Wellington, New Zealand's art and culture capital. The show welcomes an international audience of 40,000 per season. WOW, the brainchild of Nelson sculptor Suzie Moncrieff, is a unique concept where designers are encouraged to challenge their creative boundaries. WOW 'takes art off the wall and out of static display & adorns the human body in wildly wonderful ways that inspire all'.
Associated with WOW for the last 5 years, Sunil Sethi, President, FDCI said, "A globally renowned art meets fashion extravaganza, the Montana World of WearableArtT Awards (WOW) is a synthesis of fashion and creative ingenuity. It is very rare that budding designers get an opportunity to showcase their creativity on a global platform and WOW makes this possible. In its fifth year and gaining popularity each year, we are proud to announce that 12 dazzling garments will be entered for WOW 2010.
