CLASH: A TEXTILE COUTURE EXPERIENCE

CLASH: A Textile Couture Experience is an exhibition based on the concept of how the academic population dictates the common public perception of what is "acceptable" and "unacceptable" within our society. Art and fashion are prime examples of this "issue" because both allow for individual opinion, cultural diversity, and self-expression to demolish this outdated stigma. CLASH is designed to present itself as a self-contained traveling exhibition and is strongly influenced by each designated venue, public programming and its audience. The exhibition is created to travel internationally and "pop-up" within the hosting cities during Fashion Week, where the average timeframe for display is two weeks. The exhibition will showcase the works/designs of the following artists and designers: Nick Cave, Yinka Shonibare, MBE., Issey Miyake, Nicola Fomichetti, and Reuel Riddick.
