Our show features sculptural, unexpected Wearable ART. We encourage provocative, challenging art in any media that must be wearable by a model on a runway.

We are looking for inventive and exciting pieces! We welcome student entries.

Group submissions by two or more artists are welcome.

FEE

$42.50 submission fee per artist or collaborative/group entry.

Free to Arts Council ~ Haliburton Highlands members and fulltime students studying in Haliburton County.

JURY SYSTEM

The Fashion Fallies committee will review all submissions prior to the event, through the application process and/or a photo if requested.

Acceptance is based on the following criteria:

• Originality: entry must be artist’s original work, not created from a commercial pattern or copied from another artist. Up cycled items are welcome but must be significantly altered from the original item
• Creativity: will it wow the audience? Is it conceptually fresh and exciting?
• Craftsmanship: is it well constructed?
• Use of materials: Were materials used appropriately? Were nontraditional/alternative materials used?
• Presentation: Can it be worn safely by a model? Will it show well on the runway?
• Shown previously? We do request that your submission not have been shown previously in Haliburton County or nearby.
• Theme: You are encouraged to consider this year’s theme “Our Future is Fearless”

Only high-quality original pieces will be accepted, and all submissions must be available to be reviewed by October 5. If your submission is accepted and upon receipt is deemed not to be acceptable, it will not be shown.

It is understood by the Committee that pieces may not be exactly as described in your initial application due to ongoing construction and the artistic process.

The number of pieces entered are not restricted, but all pieces submitted may not be accepted by the Fashion Fallies Committee according to the above criteria, number of applications or duplication by multiple artists.

Accessories, jewellery, single pieces or complete ensembles are all welcome. Your piece may be combined with another artist for presentation during the show.

AWARDS

There will be awards selected by a judging panel independent of the Fashion Fallies Committee.

Your Fashion Art piece is to be delivered to The Haliburton School of Art + Design between Oct 21-31. Model fittings and rehearsal will take place between November 4- 8. Models will be selected by the Fashion Fallies Committee unless pre-arranged.

Due to lack of storage space we would appreciate pick up of pieces ASAP, following the show on November 15th.
