Fashion + art. Designer and inspiration. Lecture by designers Julia Pakalina and Anna Azevich

April 29 at 15:00 the Center for Photography invites you to a meeting with designers Yulia Pakalina and Anna Azevich “Fashion + art. Designer and inspiration ”as part of the educational program for the exhibition“ Beauty Canons of Giovanni Gastela ”.

About a meeting:

“It’s impossible to wear it!” - collections from the catwalks very often provoke just such a reaction from the audience. On April 29, designers Julia and Anna will try to clarify the situation - they will tell how ideas for collections are born and why all these complex and strange things are needed. The meeting will be held in the format of a dialogue on fashion from the point of view of cultural studies and philosophy. It will be about the conceptual side of fashion and the impact of art on it. You will learn how art becomes a source of inspiration for clothing designers.

About speakers:
