Interactive Walkabout / Installation

Visionary fashion gurus Carpet Man and Lino Boy bring their inimitable 21st Century couture creations
to the catwalk of the pavements.

Having lived through the colossal highs and the bottomless lows of the retail carpet trade, Carpet Man has seen the
future of fashion. Drawing on the skills of the family’s most resourceful nephew – Lino Boy - Carpet Man and his
side kick proudly present their astounding couture creations to the world, fresh from the ‘Garden Shed Studio’.

This is a beautifully surreal, improvisational walkabout / installation show that takes it’s lead from it’s audience.
The Public are actively encouraged to join in with Carpet Man and Lino Boy’s enthusiastic presentation of their
offbeat clothing by donning items for catwalk approval.

Accompanying the duo’s charmingly cheeky sales patter and banter, is an eclectic range of swinging lounge and
fashion orientated music; a collapsible curtained changing room; a Perspex slimming and fattening mirror; and
pull down blinds for jotting down those all important price lists and client measurements.
