Couture on Canvas
Join JoyWave for Couture on Canvas, an evening reimagining the traditional life-drawing experience through fashion.
Please bring your preferred drawing materials—pens, pencils, paper, paints or a digital device for illustrating.
A light charcuterie board and non-alcoholic beverages will be served throughout the evening.
Our muse will be dressed in couture by designer Paris Jade Burrows. Draw at the meeting point of the human form, craftsmanship and wearable art.
From Bertolt Brecht’s interrogations of power to Gustave Doré’s shadowed literary worlds, Paris approaches fashion as a form of storytelling.
Grounded in historical research, her corsetry and tailoring echo bygone eras—from the 1400s to the 1930s—while reclaimed remnants from previous creations are transformed into something entirely new.
$5 from every ticket will support Jabalbina Yalanji Aboriginal Corporation’s First Nations-led rehabilitation of the Daintree Rainforest.
