After six successful years, the Dunedin Fine Art Center is ready to wow guests once more with its Wearable Art fashion show, displaying locally-made duds surely edgy enough to make a meat suit-wearing fashion queen's head spin.
Wearable Art has been known to challenge and push the limits of form and style — you won't find your everyday, safe and comfortable fashions here. Aluminum bikinis, balloon ballgowns and copper corsets are more like it, and they are only a few of the unusual things that have floated elegantly across DFAC's human conveyer belt, or runway, in past years.
The show will feature fashions from new and repeat artists: Rocky and Kathleen Bridges, Johnny Junt, Ivan, Monica Londono, Kaitlin Lynch, Leah Pecoraro, Josua Veasey and Rogerio Martins.
Following the show's completion, attendees can expect to be rocked and rolled by The Lambasters, a rock and blues influenced, whiskey drinkin' trio from Tampa that will be performing at the after-party.
Wearable Art 7 will take off on Aug. 13 at 7:30 p.m. The runway show starts at 9 p.m., with the after-party to follow. Tickets for general admission start at $15 and reserved seating pricing is $35 and $75. The event is expected to sell out as it has in the past, so you'll want to purchase your tickets asap.
