Fashion is an integral part of the Bay to Birdwood. The Fashions on the Field competition is a way to celebrate the connection between fashion, motoring and personality. Participants are encouraged to take a step back in time and assemble outfits that blend personal flair, period detail and fun.
To correspond with the parade of entrant vehicles this year we will be celebrating periods of style from 1900 to 1994, from top hats to acid wash, go-go boots to shoulder pads, and everything in between.
Categories
The three award categories will be open for registration on the day, with a winner and runner-up announced for each:
- Best Female Fashion: for individuals wearing historically female fashion.
- Best Male Fashion: for individuals wearing historically male fashion.
- Best Group Fashion: for groups of two or more in coordinating fashion.
The Best Female Fashion and Best Male Fashion categories are open to anyone, irrespective of gender or identification. They are intended to frame historical conditions of dress and match the thematic tone of the event. Register for whatever competition you feel most comfortable in.
Contestants are not required to wear exclusively authentic historic / vintage pieces. Vintage-inspired clothing and accessories are also welcome.
Judging
For each category, contestants will participate in a fashion parade, with our expert judges evaluating each individual or group based on the following criteria:
- Accuracy: outfit reflects the historical style of a specific era from 1900-1994
- Style: outfit displays attention to detail and originality
- Presentation: contestant carries themselves with confidence
The contestants with the highest scores in each category will be announced as the winner.
