WINGS: Notes on an Independent Fashion Festival @wings_independent_fashion
Wings, if you had to explain it in shorthand, is an Independent Fashion Festival. This is mostly true, but itâs not the whole show: Wingsâ ideological ambitions are connective. It is the synapse along which discrete creative ideas pulse.
Doing a runway show in the shark tunnel of Sydneyâs aquarium is one of the most legible expressions of an idea that Co-Founders Alvi Chung and Dan Neeson have been creating in different forms for years. Nobody had run a fashion show through those tunnels before. You can head down a runway, in all senses, but to eventually take off, you do need WINGS. Yes, this is a crude, obvious metaphor for a cultural venture that is inoculated against typical categorisation. This can only be a good thing. Itâs nothing about incomprehensibility, or about the concept requiring prior knowledge in order to digest it (the enzyme equivalent of a license to know). You do not need prescribed credentials to be part of the world of Wings.
