TAFE NSW & Design Centre Enmore Present

TAFE NSW and its Industry and Community Partners would like to invite you to participate in SWAG! The second annual Sydney Wearable Art Gala competition.

In November 202, Sydney’s established and emerging wearable art creators are invited to showcase their outrageous designs on stage at the iconic Enmore Theatre in front of a live audience.

SWAG is an exciting opportunity for wearable art makers to step out of the studio and on to the stage, and demonstrate their amazing skills while also raising money for charity.

This year's theme is SUPERNATURE. On display will be aspects of nature pushed to their limits in wearable art forms that will be sure to blow your mind.

The 2024 Gala was hosted by the legendary Murray Cook (The original Red Wiggle!) and will also feature a panel of industry experts, including Kirsten Junor (recycling and sustainability expert), Rene Rivas (celebrated costume designer), Tim Chappel (Academy Award winning costume designer for ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’) and Thursday evening VIP guest judge: Jenny Kee (fashion designer extraordinaire).

Hosts and special guest judges for the 2025 Gala are yet to be announced

Prize packages will be awarded to winners in each category, plus an additional Young Achievers Award for entrants 16-20 years old.
