fabrics interseason® critically investigate conventions of dress established through social/cultural tradition and the way these serve to create identity. The artists’ analyses revolve around mourning dress (‘Mourning/EQUINOX fabrics interseason®’), implicitly political/feminist standards of clothing (for instance the purple dungarees entitled ‘fem’), and notions of normality (‘Constructed Normality’). Such culturally determined constituents not only reappear in the designs themselves, but are also reflected by their respective means of presentation, i.e. fashion shows, as well as by the specially composed accompanying music.
