Wearable art has existed for as long as humans have painted and feathered themselves, but in terms of buzz and awareness, it is sky-high on the agenda this year. Hand-crafted and personally expressive, wearable art is the term used for costumes and accessories made to be worn as “art” outside the limitations of commerce, fashion trends or utility.
It often begins with crafty dress-ups, hot glue guns, cosplay and camp aesthetics, but only the ignorant and snobbish would deny that wearable art can be both fun and serious.
