Since 2014 we work on the creative direction an exhibition design of New Order of Fashion. Together we build on a platform that supports exceptional international fashion talent by sharing their stories through our exhibitions and connecting them to the industry to push for change.

The magical concept of shapeshifting must be deeply ingrained into our psyche, as it is a popular theme in myths and fairy tales, in shamanism and witchcraft, in religious texts and science fiction, in the arts and culminating in our modern ‘makeability’ cultus.

What is this fleshy vessel, this body, that has to somehow fit in with the prescriptions of fashion? What does fashion do with our shape and with our concept of self? Which part of our identity is expressed through fashion?
