In an unprecedented sneak preview, The Dominion Post revealed one of the designs to be entered in the WOW - World of WearableArt - Awards to be held in Wellington this September.
The design, by New Zealand fabric artist Susan Holmes, is an outfit beautiful constructed from various recycled items such as an old lampshade, pre-loved fabrics, fencing wire and flax baskets.
Ms Holmes' creation was commissioned by WOW sponsor Montana to celebrate its Brut Cuvess sparkling wine and was inspired by a visit to Marlborough's Brancott Winery. The artist said
"I took my cues from the rolling hills at the winery, the weather, the vines, soil and grapes. The colours I have used represent the hues of nature".
