Fashionable close to show By Eleanor Wilson After a week of parading the best local art in its 44th annual event, Art Show Pakenham drew the curtains to a close on Sunday 4 June. But it ended as big as it started, with 417 visitors on the final day, many of which attending to see the coveted Wearable Art Parade. The parade saw 10 models flaunt creative and technical outfits through the gallery and around the foyer space to a delighted crowd. Former Mayor and Councillor Kate Lempriere dusted off her modelling skills to lead the parade in a beautiful woollen outfit ’Travel the World’ by Deborah Wearne. The outfit aimed to use wool, a sustainable and environmentally friendly material, to highlight the environmental impact
of the fast fashion industry through textile waste. The loudest applause was received by ’Katie the Ocelot’, which was created by Wendy Andrews and modelled by Katie. It featured a soft cat suit with mittens, spats and a hood and was typified by a sassy runway performance. The People’s Choice award went to ’Field of Dreams’, created by Carousel Brides and Bespoke Creative Collection and modelled by Louisa. A collaborative handmade dress, the focal point was a brocade corset bdoice featuring lace, hand beading and silk flowers, which was attached to a circle frame with nets, wire and intricate ribbon and lace. Announced at the end of the show was the People’s choice artwork that went to Laurel Foenander for her stunning landscape Evening’.
