Hawt Couture
50% SOLD OUT
CABARET, MAGIC & BURLESQUE
Where your wildest, most outrageous costuming dreams come to life! Sewn together through a series of public workshops throughout June and July, this final catwalk extravaganza brings costume, creativity, community and clowning into a celebration of imagination like no other. Give fast fashion the flick as found objects, discarded materials, pre-loved clothing, pop-culture and cult-classic grunge meet in a heady mix of sequins, scraps & sustainability. Want in? We’re all implicated in the industry, so get ready to get involved in the fashion furore and change the world, one thread at a time!
Its ethical. It’s op shop. It’s utterly ridiculous. It’s HAWT COUTURE.
Dresscode: Opshop Glam – More Is More!
Come dressed in your secondhand sequins, ballgowns/tux, or simply that ridiculous thing you bought that you have never found the right event to wear it to. The time is now!
Prizes for best dressed!
Bring along: Something you would like one of our local models to sign. A book, a fashion item, a sock, a piece of fruit – whatever means the most to you!
Created, facilitated & directed by Anna Thomson Comedy in collaboration with 103 (Art Space) & the HAWT COUTURE Collective. Performed by creatives from Garramilla/Darwin, Palmerston & surrounds. This project was made possible by the Australian Governments Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.

About the producer
Anna Thomson Comedy creates interactive, poignant and hilarious worlds through community performance, contemporary clowning, physical comedy workshops and outrageous costumery. The HAWT COUTURE Collective is invested in promoting creativity and connection within the Garramilla/Darwin, Palmerston and surrounding communities, whilst playfully interrogating the fast fashion industry and the waste it produces. With a delight in the ridiculous, we believe that comedy can inspire us to change the world, one thread at a time.
