The 2020 World of Wearable Art show was cancelled due to Covid-19 but will instead be held as an exhibition in Wellington.
From abandoned tents transformed into avant-garde works of art, to a wearable Axminster carpet inspired by Frida Kahlo, the organisers say each garment has a unique story behind it.
The World of Wearable Art Up Close will run from 12 December to 14 February at Te Papa Tongarewa.
World of Wearable Art chief executive David Tingey speaks to Susie Ferguson.
