Monochromatic
Be inspired by the Monochromatic Section in the 2021 World of WearableArt Awards. On this page you’ll find a set of resources we have put together to inspire and provide a jumping-off point for your 2021 entry.
WOW rewards the curious, the courageous and those who are passionate enough to stand in the face of self-doubt and embrace creativity no matter the cost.
– Dame Suzie Moncrieff, WOW Founder
Monochromatic colours are all the colours (tones, tints and shades) of a single hue.
Put your unique touch on the concept of a monochromatic garment in the 2021 World of WearableArt Awards. Take the Section theme, and push it further! Explore the limits of your imagination, tell a story through your design and create something that challenges the conventional. Focus on originality, authenticity and artistry when developing your garment, and consider your construction and choice of materials.
Bring us the extraordinary.
