WBF fashion.department Activities

Fashion, Styling, Shows, this is the content of this part of the festival

The cross over to styling and fashion is very close in the middle of an event that uses the body as an art object. Many bodypainting artists are working in the fashion industry and theatres. Initiatives were set in this field from the beginning of the World Bodypainting Festival. Every year new ideas were added and promoted. Some more ideas will also be shown in the next festival and are already in preparation.
We are presenting the following activities under the title "WBF fashion.department":

Work: Birigit Mörtl

WBF fashion.park - the boutique for young creative designers
WBF couture.award - the fashion contest for young designers
"Contemporary Nomads", the new Body Art Fashion Show for 2012
Styling Zone in Bodypaint City
Riga Styling Show

Every day on the main evenings we present you breathtaking shows of the human body combined with colours lights. The stunning night contest for UV effects is on the Friday night program. Spectacular effects are guaranteed when 15 selected artists are going to tell you a story of colours, dance and music. On Saturday the international artist group "Creachiefs" will paralyse the audience and the Sunday, the final day will be explosive.

A big music line up is presented on main and side stages in "Bodypaint City" while the bodypainting artist paint their models throughout the day. Raggae, dancehall, balkan beat, pop, country as well as over 20 DJ acts at the Red Bull music tent ensure the right beat for the audience. A very special highlight is going to be the performance of fashion and pop diva Aura Dione on the final day that stands under the "avant-garde" theme.
