This year, three BDSC groups participated in the TOI wearable arts competition. TOI translates to art and is run in collaboration with the world-renowned World of Wearable Art. The competition is about making a garment from recycled resources using your imagination to bring ideas to life. This year the themes were Stories of the South Pacific, Red, Depths and Heights, Crafted Culture and Open. TOI inspired students to think outside the box, collaborate, and express their ideas in bold and imaginative ways. Unlike previous years a selection process was introduced making participation aggressive and competitive. TOI had over 900 submissions nationwide to their competition and three BDSC teams were selected for the Auckland show. Our students demonstrated incredible dedication and skills crafting everyday materials into a work of art.
On Thursday 11 June, our models and designers headed to Aotea Centre for the showcase. It was a memorable day seeing our Showquest dancers and designers getting to show off their work with each piece telling their own story. A big congratulations to all our models and designers for representing BDSC!
