What a show!

Innovation, imagination and community spirit were centre stage as Enliven Southland hosted its avant-garde Wearable Arts Show Enliven Style event in October.

Residents and staff from our Enliven Southland care homes, Peacehaven retirement village and Central Office turned everyday items into extraordinary outfits to parade on the catwalk in the Wearable Arts Show Enliven Style held at Vickery Court.

The judging panel, made up of Invercargill City councillor Steve Broad and ILT board member Angela Newell, took on the difficult task of selecting the winners.  Here are the results:
