Art to Wear: fashion parade and pre-loved clothing sale
ACT Textile Arts Association members are hosting a fashion parade, Art to Wear, showcasing their stunning creations and artistic refashions.
Art to Wear is ACTTAA’s first fashion parade since 2019, so this is a rare opportunity to see some amazing clothes.
The audience will see an incredible variety of unusual wearable items in a range of styles and techniques, all made by our talented members. You will be inspired and may snaffle a unique piece which will make you look and feel fabulous. If you are looking for a special work of wearable art, this is the place to come.
Art to Wear will showcase the amazing talents of ACTTAA members on the catwalk and in an exclusive two-day display. It will include award-winning works and new creations. Tickets are strictly limited, so book now.

Fibre Couture
ACTTAA joined forces with Canberra Region Feltmakers to stage the Fibre Couture fashion parade, bazaar and high tea in spring 2017.
The parade showcased artisan clothes and accessories including hats, fascinators, jewellery and bags, all made by members from the two organisations. Many different textile fabrication techniques have been used to create the garments, including felting, Shibori dyeing, stamping, bead embellishment and crochet.
This was the first time the two groups collaborated to present a fashion parade. It was held at the Belconnen Arts Centre.
Here are some of the outfits that were shown.
