Nettie turns heads in Ashburton
Art and fashion make the perfect pair, and lovers of the two are in for a real treat when they combine again to form an exhibition and fundraising venture at the Ashburton Art Gallery.
“Signify – A Fashion/Art Collaboration” is a new exhibition celebrating the relationship between New Zealand’s fashion and fine art sectors.
A selection of fashion designers have been asked to contribute to the exhibition by donating a white or pale coloured garment which will then be painted by a New Zealand artist."
