FINAL EVENT

Get Together with Fashion Show and DJONES

This workshop seeks to encourage self-expression through a playful and free experience of garment creation. It will be held over two days from 2.30 to 6.30 pm on the basement floor of Museion, where Elena and the group will approach clothes design through outline drawing, image verbalization and free movement. At the end of this initial experiential step, the participants will move onto the creation of an actual garment.

On Saturday, March 2nd, from 8 pm in the Museion basement, there will be a final demonstration, open to the public, with a small fashion show of the garments created, followed by a DJ set by DJONES.

According to Elena Beccaro, the clothes we wear show how we see the world around us, and how we decide to act within it. Our clothes are therefore a way of being, a way of behaving and a character we assume in relation to what is around us. Clothes are talked about in many ways. They are discussed in literature, film, television, radio, everyday conversations, advertising and casual gossip. They also take the floor in seasonal catwalks and store windows, on streets, in offices and in our own homes. There are “clothes that are talked about” and “clothes that speak” and these tend to blend together, blurring the line between one and the other.

ALTOMARE will be a moment of fun, of opening up, dressed in our very own clothes. It will be a space for free reflection, “a continuous flow between ourselves and others”.
