Experimental Fabric Fashions

The FASHIONCLASH 2013 Project Has Fashion Outsiders Make Clothes

— June 11, 2013 — Art & Design
'FASHIONCLASH' 2013 is celebrating 'Five Years of CLASH' by inviting non-fashion designers to create wearable fashions. Since its founding five years ago, FASHIONCLASH has become a platform for designers of all disciplines to showcase their work. To celebrate all of these different art forms, FASHIONCLASH invited ten people from different professions like photographers, artists, illustrators and textile designers to create wearable works of art.

This year's creations include avant-garde garments that show interesting interpretations of each designer's perspective. For example, textile designer Wilderman by Hermine van Dijck created a look that mixes and matches various fabrics and textures with patchwork, and graphic designer Esther Noben's dress is made completely out of paper. It's interesting to see how these designers adapt these familiar materials into wearable fashions.
Trend Themes
1. Non-fashion Designers in Fashion - There is an opportunity to disrupt the traditional fashion industry by inviting designers from different professions to bring new perspectives to the industry and create unique wearable fashions.
2. Wearable Art - The idea of fashion as art creates an opportunity for designers to experiment with unconventional materials and create avant-garde garments that push the boundaries of traditional fashion.
3. Mixed Media Fashion - There is an opportunity to combine different fabrics, textures, and materials to create unique and visually interesting wearable fashions.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry can disrupt itself by inviting non-fashion designers to create wearable fashions and bring new perspectives to the industry.
2. Textile Industry - The textile industry can benefit from a trend towards mixed media fashion by providing new, unconventional materials for designers to experiment with.
3. Art Industry - The art industry can benefit from the trend of wearable art by collaborating with fashion designers to create unique pieces that blur the lines between fashion and art.
