Bishop Museum will be the first museum in the U.S. to host the New Zealand-based "World of Wearable Art," or WOW, exhibition from Saturday through Feb. 2 in the Castle Memorial Building.
The exhibition fusing fashion and art will spotlight 32 award-winning garments from the international design competition hosted by WOW, which attracts hundreds of entries from fashion designers, artists, costume makers and other artisans charged with the mission to take "art off the wall and adorn the human form."
Visitors will be able to discover the inspiration behind WOW at a touch-screen workroom integrated with interpretive material and visual presentations, or slide over to a table of craft materials to design and create their own miniature paper doll pieces of wearable art.
Museum hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays to Mondays. Visit www.bishopmuseum.org or call 847-3511.
