TECHNOTHREADS AT SCIENCE GALLERY: EXHIBITION & CALL
Technothreads is an exhibition all about the creative sparks that fly when the worlds of fashion and science collide. The exhibition, running from 26th April - 26th July 2008, offers viewers a glimpse into the future of fashion in a world where Biotech and Nanotech are combined with traditional craft and Haute Couture skills. With work from designers such as Walter van Beirendonck, Yoshiki Hishinuma and Freedom of Creation, it promises to show off the most innovative, cutting edge and exciting designers the world has to offer as well as raising issues for global debate, such as the use of tissue culture to produce semi-living clothes.
Join: We need techno and textile artists and scientists, fashion gurus, experimental costume designers or inventors and dynamic companies. Are you open to new wearable ideas? Why not materialize them! We are presenting the following events as part of Technothreads:
