The Supreme WOW Award Runner-up was Woven In-tent, created by Kirsten Fletcher (@kirstenfletcherdesign). Made using over 500 abandoned tents, the garment highlights the disturbing practice of people abandoning tents after musical festivals. "Our fast fashion culture is setting a dangerous precedent to disregard and undervalue materials and resources."
.
Woven In-tent was submitted in the Avant-garde Section and was also awarded the inaugral Residency Experience Award (@theresidencyexperience) selected by iconic fashion activist B. Akerlund (@bcompleted)!
