"Ag Art Wear" Contest Creates Interest At Show FARM HOME Clothes 24-3-21 Corrugated iron, baling twine and chicken wire have all been used to create "cutting edge" fashion at an attention-getting fashion show that requires contestants to create their garments out of anything they can find on the farm.
The Ag Art Wear competition is held each year at the New Zealand National Fieldays in Mystery Creek, New Zealand. The rules are simple: create a piece of wearable art from farm products or equipment. "Pretty much anything you can find on the farm," says contest coordinator Jodi Bennett, who works for the Fieldays.
The unique fashion show has grown each year since it started 6 years ago, says Bennett, noting that entries come in from across New Zealand. They're expecting a record number of entries this year to compete for nearly $5,000 in prizes. A "fashion" show is held one day and 15 finalists are selected to compete on the final day. An entry fee is charged. This year's show will be held June 14-17.
