Nelson

---

Arrived in Nelson just after lunch as it was Sunday most of the shops were closed. Decided to have a walk around, visited the cathedral, followed by a visit to WOW, world of Wearable art, great fun. The event started in Nelson but is now on such a scale that it has been moved to Wellington. It is a mixture of art, fashion and theatre. Some of the costumes were just amazing. There were ones made from metallic materials that looked like flax you find in NZ, some made from padded material very eccentric but great fun. Designers come from all over the world now and there is not another event like it in the world. They are not fashion designers more like artist who work with materials. Have a look at the website As you were not allowed to take photographs here.
