Since it was established in 1987 World of WearableArt (WOW) has embraced the worlds of art and design, running an international competition that culminates in a spectacular theatrical performance each year. The exhilarating WOW Show is a visual feast for audiences and an opportunity for designers to be recognised and celebrated on the world stage.

WOW offers an opportunity to express innovation, originality and to push the boundaries of creativity. The show represents the last stage of the competition as finalists garments get their moment to shine in front of over 60,000 people.

WOW works with hundreds of talented people including lighting designers, stage managers, garment technicians, models, dancers, aerialists, and designers who all work together to bring the World of WearableArt Show to life.

In partnering with WOW, we're proud to help imagination take flight and attract artists and visitors from around the world to Wellington.
