Sooke: Fine art you can wear, It’s locally designed, it’s handmade, it’s squeaky green and it’s gorgeous
You know you’re in an arty crowd at a fashion show when the ornate felted jackets get the biggest cheers, the soundtrack is vintage jazz instead of blaring techno and the audience claps politely as ensembles leave the runway rather than enter.
The Artz4Fashion show Saturday night was a new event at this year’s 24th annual Sooke Fine Arts Show. It featured locally designed and made and environmentally friendly clothing and accessories.
The vibe in the SEAPARC Leisure Complex, transformed into a gallery with dividers, banners and clever lighting, was one of community and appreciation. Women in floral summer dresses, men in sandals and kids of all ages chatted and packed in for the show after perusing the art and snacking on veggies and a variety of local smoked salmon.
