Wearable Art: From Concept to Creation

Tea Montgomery

Clothing can be more than something we wear—it can tell a story, express an idea or one's personal mythology, or become a work of art. Moving beyond traditional fashion design, students will treat the body as a canvas and clothing as a form of communication. Whether inspired by fashion, costume, fiber arts, sustainable design, or storytelling, students will complete an original wearable art piece—or a small capsule look—that reflects their unique artistic vision. Practical skills such as measuring, cutting, draping, sewing, problem-solving, and finishing will be taught, while also exploring how garments can express memory, emotion, movement, protection, culture, and transformation. Through weekly meetings, students will be exposed to: How to develop a concept for a wearable piece How to gather visual and material inspiration Basic measuring and fitting awareness Fabric manipulation and surface design Simple garment construction or garment transformation
