This paper introduces the idea of personalised acoustic fashion objects for performance art and the value of on-going performance-based research to progressively develop unique wearable devices for individual performers, that increase the scope of artistic expression and audio-visual spectacle. We investigate methodologies associated with acoustic fashion objects (novel body-centric musical instruments) and how they can be implemented in-vivo-practice based research workshops, to build a creative visual acoustic language for live-art performance and to develop the aesthetics and functionalities of the devices themselves.
