Artists Kerry Mackay and Pamela Brown have constructed a frame in the form of a giant apron and attached it to the front of the house, an art workroom and gallery in Lees St.
Mrs Brown and Ms Mackay were running free art workshops from noon to 4pm each day until March 22, for members of the public to create works which will be attached to the apron frame.
The artists wallpapered the outside of the house a year ago and said 12 months of Dunedin weather had taken its toll.
''We thought it needed a bit of a cover-up, and so had the idea of making a giant apron,'' Mrs Brown said.
The workshops began yesterday, after both artists had started attaching their own creations to the top of the apron.
Contributors were asked to follow a domestic theme, in keeping with the house itself.
''For iD, it could be inspired by your favourite clothing at home, or it could be about your pet. We want it to end up being a really colourful streetscape,'' Mrs Brown said.
Ms Mackay's latest exhibition, Re-Skin, was also on display at the Wallpaper House during iD.
It featured re-worked vintage coats, re-skinned handbags and taxidermy animals fitted with custom garments made from woollen blankets.
The exhibition was one of many associated with iD Dunedin Fashion Week.
Others included an audio and visual installation by designer Rose Thomas, at None Gallery, in Stafford St, and a contemporary jewellery collection on display at the Quadrant Gallery, in Moray Pl.
The Dunedin Public Art Gallery was also hosting a touring exhibition from the New Zealand Fashion Museum which focused on the evolution of home sewing in New Zealand and fashion changes through the decades.
It was adapted especially for iD and featured items by Dunedin designers as well as 2013 iD international guest, British milliner Stephen Jones.
The Inge Doesburg Gallery and Studio in Castle St had a mixed media fine art offering from various artists working to a loose theme of bodywear or figure drawing, and in tribute to Mr Jones' millinery a New Zealand hat and hair art exhibition was on show at the Temple Gallery in Moray Pl.
Various fashion events will be held in the city
this week for iD, which will culminate in the iD Dunedin Fashion Show at the Dunedin Railway Station on Friday and Saturday night.
