Wear ART Now

Autumn/ Winter 2013

Wear ART Now was about Creating artistic outfits that are accessible and wearable.

Kat used leather for the first time in this collection and employed a number of processes to experiment with the new material whilst producing her garments. She studded, branded, slashed, punched and had tattooes inked onto hides.

Wear Art Now was a collaborative process with other local artists. Kat Ratcliffe of Ink and Hide did the tattooing and Tim Bignell forged a hot iron brand of Kat’s logo that she used to brand the leather.

Kat also teamed up with teachers and students from Federation University Australia UNISTYLE who did the models’ hair and makeup for the opening and closing parades.
