The show featured a spectacular family-friendly production of music, theatre, dance and a cinematic audio visual backdrop that worked to enhance the living, breathing works of art for the body.
The West Australian Opera also partnered with Wearable Art Mandurah to deliver a spine-tingling performance of Delibe's Lakme by soprano Pia Harris and mezzo-soprano Brigette Heuser.
Showcase artistic director Bernie Bernard said this year's showcase was particularly "magical and mysterious".
"I am grateful to work with an incredibly skilled cast and crew and our creative intention is to take you on a journey to lands filled with mythical creatures and introduce you to brave and heroic beings," she said.
"It has been a privilege to work with these spectacular garments in the development of our 2019 showcase.
"They are truly unique and each one tells a story."
