Beyond fashion and beyond brands, clothing speaks of the people they are created by. This is the philosophy of the workshop with Daniel González, Argentinian artist and stylist–who a number of years ago started the “D.G. Clothes Project,” creating unique “work of art clothing” for unique individuals, a second-skin of sort, to reveal the identity of the person they are created for through the very characteristics of the clothing. The artist lead participants in the creation of a new and unique “work of art clothing,” from the modification of a piece of clothing brought in. Through shape, materials, combinations, cuts, etc. each participant identified themselves in their new creations. The “work of art- clothing” opens doors to the imagination and allows one to feel their own often forgotten unique qualities. It is an invitation to set your personality free.
Free workshop – participants were asked to bring with them an article of clothing to transform (T-shirt, trousers, blouses, etc.)
