Who won the first spot you ask? Keep scrolling!

So the World of WearableArt show came to a close and among the prize winners across various sections are two Indians.

The World of WearableArt (or WOW) Awards Show is an annual art-cum-theatrical event that aims to 'twist conventional perceptions of art and fashion and weaves them into an unforgettable performance'.

Sarvshakti Yadav finished second in the Bizarre Bras section for his creation -- The Bra of Marbles.

A 'bra' made out of wood by Ross Hardie and Rachel Hardie of New Zealand worn here by the male model in the picture came third and the one on the left, designed by Sebastian Denize won the top honours.


And this one by Nicki van Asch (also of New Zealand) received an honourable mention.


Then there was the 'Yah-Nah' bra (L) and a host of other ones to tickle your fancy! :-)


Sarvshakti Yadav wasn't the only Indian to win the 'bizarre' honours at the WOW awards. The Theomorphic King (pictured above) designed by Deepit Chugh and Khushboo Shroff using velvet, papier mache, wire, leather and (lots and lots of) paint won the third place in the Costume and Film Section.
