Fashion Fallies Review
Fashion Fallies, the wearable art event entertained a sold-out crowd on Friday November 10th at the Haliburton School of Art and Design. Artists, community members and students created artrageous wearable art which included everything from a crochet paper dress to an outfit made with old film from an abandoned drive-in theatre. Besides a run-way of fashion, the event also featured a number of other performances such as dance, spoken word and a drag show.  Money raised will go towards programing and events supported by The Art's Council. Plans are already underway organizing next year's event.
