What is wearable art?

Wearable art is unique artwork created to be worn and displayed. It is fun, unexpected and not recognizable as traditional clothing. Think BIG, BOLD and FUNKY!

Why wearable art?

Robert Presley, for whom TAB was started, was an incredible local clothing designer and costume creator. Every year in his honor, TAB continues to support designers from near and far by including their work in the Fashion Show.
