SECTION 1: Ride Like the Wind
Design garments for airborne action: soaring, freewheeling, gliding, or sky-high flight - dragon riders; thermal drifting; silver surfers; motorbikers; skateboarders; desert storm and nightriders. Imagine and create a costume designed for aerodynamics, purpose, propulsion and protection. Able to withstand the wild ride ahead or ride the wave of success. A steam punk sky pilot; ancient knight in armour; futuristic cyclist; space skater or sci fi cowboy, all ‘riding on a high’. If your motor or steed was built for speed, what would your garment reveal about you?
SECTION 2: Met Gala @ the House of Dragon Five (recycled section)
With the world of mythical creatures as your inspiration and guide, design a garment that wows the Met Gala paparazzi as you step boldly onto the red carpet. Ethnic elements, oriental legend and mythical themes should influence your overall design. This is a recycled, upcycled, repurposed materials section. Entries must refresh and revitalise the obsolete. Re-animate materials and accessories or reimagine a preloved garment into an extravagant and exquisite masterpiece - worthy of a red-carpet moment.
SECTION 3: Paint the Sky with Stars (single garment section)
Your inspiration is the deep mood of the midnight blue colour spectrum - explore contrasting hues of cobalt and duck egg or harmonious shades of periwinkle and teal. Using the warp and weft of stories, visions and dreams of the future, print, embroider, paint, dye, felt, patchwork, macramé, or digitally print to embellish your textile art. Weave a tapestry, a veil, a shroud, a blanket, a flag, a banner, a dream catcher, net, magic cloth or carpet… your star story, embedded in midnight blue. The cloth edges can be shaped, scalloped, fringed or frayed to frame your art. The finished piece should fit within the parameters of 150cm high and 200cm wide.
SECTION 4: Suitably Splendid (suit section)
The serious character of the business suit and who wears it should be challenged by the young and avant-garde in this section. Deconstruct your tired old suit and reinvent it into a stylishly unorthodox version that will turn heads. Dress for success in sharp city suits; street-style suits; the stiff upper suit; the swinging safari; military tailoring; Carnaby Street; the female Zoot Suit; the Marlene Dietrich Tuxedo; a Rockabilly revival; psychedelic paisley or action man meets Wall St.
SECTION 5: Emergency Transformation
Design a garment to reflect the moment when change becomes manifest. The sense of impending revolution should be revealed and given life through the form of metamorphosis. Through fire colours, be inspired by a vision of your phoenix rising from the ashes. Create an entry that incorporates the element of surprise and the idea of transposition, disruption, reversals and the shock of the new. Garments can commence with one vision then transform into another, or incorporate the old with what is being transformed. You see the pending emergency, transform now!
