^{Being Born Again Couture is an annual fashion show where famous fashion designers collaborate with famous and emerging artists to create couture garments. It includes installation, music, theatrics and film.}

^{The concept is a rebirth, a novel new notion, a totally different way of thinking, hence the name.}

^{Fashion designers collaborating with artists bring you a haute couture garment which represents the designers' affinity and interest in the artist. Their fantastic vision is being skilfully shown off, which offers the lure of collectability as an exquisite object in its own right.}
