Leonie Trathen - lynchpin of the World of Wearable Art

Leonie Trathen started off as a WoW model back when it was just starting almost 30 years ago. These days she's a lynchpin for the whole extravaganza as the World of Wearable Art's Wardrobe Manager. But the title really doesn't do her job justice. Leonie catalogues the hundreds of garments that are selected for the first round of judging, transports the finalist garments to Wellington from WoW's base in Nelson, and wrangles the more than 30 models involved in the show.
