The 1708 Gallery, LaDifférence International Furnishings and Style Weekly sponsored event, "Wearable X: Wearable 10, A 1708 Annual Fundraising Event," popped off this Saturday, showcasing some of the most bizarre and fresh creations of the art scene.

Students and professionals submitted costumes that were adjudicated and awarded based on their colorfulness, originality, style and keeping with the theme, "X."

Using unconventional materials such as chicken wire, duct tape, disposable plates, light bulbs, laminated sheets of music and piano keys, the models displayed the latest in cutting-edge fashion.

Costumes included a pregnant queen bee, a lawn, a peacock, a construction worker and a used tampon.
