What is wearable art? 3 Gorgeous Examples
Hey there, you art loving fashionista! 🌟 Today, I’m diving into the world of wearable art—where artistic expression meets functionality, and your outfit can tell a story as unique as you are!
So, Exactly What is Wearable Art?
People often ask “What is wearable art? What do you mean?” I hope this little post will clear that up for you!
Wearable art is all about transforming clothing and accessories into artistic expressions. Whether you’re looking for an outfit for a special occasion or something more casual, you can think of it as a bridge between the art gallery and your wardrobe. Instead of just wearing fabric, you’re wearing a showpiece! It allows you to showcase your personality and style in a fun, creative way. Plus, who doesn’t want to turn heads and spark conversations with their outfit?
My take on wearable art begins with fabrics that are printed with patterns that I create from my original art. It may be a finished painting, or just a sketchbook piece, sometimes I modify them in photoshop, sometimes not – but it is always 100% original and my unique pattern. I make my designs on my computer, and decide how I want the prints to show on the fabric. My production partners are responsible for printing the fabric and finishing the garments for me.
So, now that I’ve answered the question “What is wearable art” you might wonder…
Why Choose Wearable Art?
1. Uniqueness: Each piece is often handcrafted or limited edition, so you won’t bump into someone else wearing the same thing at a party.
2. Self-Expression: It’s a fantastic way to express who you are without saying a word. Your style is your art!
3. Quality: Many wearable art pieces are made with care and attention to detail, ensuring you get something beautiful and durable.
