fArt//  SoSe 2023 // Design Project

If you combine the words fashion and art, it sounds like fart!

Many collaborations between designers, fashion houses, brands with artists turn out to be a FART- a bit of a letdown. They are a literal translation of an artwork, art practice onto a fashion product. 

The artist is often seen as top of the creative arts, designers are frequently inspired by the work of artists, but the output is sometimes questionable. There are also a few examples which were mutually satisfying, such as Louise Bourgeois and Helmut Lang who were famous for their life long friendship and collaborations.

In the Summer semester 2023 we were working with three artists, visual artist 

Jeewi Lee, Benjamin Yavuzsoy and performance artist Caroline Beach.

The three artists did present their work and after the presentations the students had the opportunity to choose one of the artists in order to delve deeper into their creative universe to understand their practice, concepts and use of material. The challenge for the students was to translate the inspiration from the artists art pieces, practice and concepts into garments which were not a literal translation of the artist work. The students had the opportunity to consult with the artist on several occasions during the semester, this dialog was aiming to insure a result that was satisfying for both parties.
