Nepal show fuses art and fashion

Imagine an exhibition where instead of the art-lover walking among the paintings, the paintings walk among the public.



That is the concept of Wearable Art, which has been displayed at a unique show in Kathmandu.

It has been created by seven young Nepali artists and the exhibition's curator, Deneth Piumakshi from Sri Lanka.

Deneth, 26, is at pains to say this is art, not "fashion".

"Art doesn't have to be in a square on a wall," she says. "I don't like canvas or paper. So I started painting on clothes."
