Heads up to our Aussie members, entries are now being accepted for the Australian Museum’s Fashion Less Waste 2011! This year contestants are asked to take inspiration from the museum’s upcoming exhibit, Birds of Paradise: Rituals of Seduction. In maintaining the mission of the competition, which is promoting sustainability in fashion, outfits and accessories must be constructed from materials not traditionally used for clothing. Plastic cups, candy wrappers, electrical cording…you really get to think outside the box for this one!
Entries are due on April 21, 2011 and will be narrowed down to the top 10 finalists in each category (Secondary School and Open). Chosen creations will be modeled at the Australian Museum fashion parade on May 19th, where Kelley Sheenan and Matt Paroz from Peppermint Magazine will be on hand to judge the top looks. For more information and to find out how to enter, head over to the Australian Museum’s website! Also be sure to out the fun creations from last year’s Fashion Less Waste parade to get inspired.
