ANYbody PRESENTED BY DANISH FASHION INSTITUTE, FEMMES RÉGIONALES, ANE LYNGE-JORLÉN, HEADSTART FASHION, CENTRAL DENMARK REGION AND AARHUS 2017.
ANYbody is an experience that questions the way we look at our body. Some of the finest talents in Danish fashion and art will create new form experiments that transcend the boundaries of how we perceive our own body. The objective is to challenge the current body shape and aesthetics. The works explore the body and challenge our assumptions about how we dress and how that reflects ourselves. The project sets out to explore the possibility of twisting our common understanding of the human silhouette by creating extraordinary body works. ANYbody connects emerging talent with local partners to create exciting new costume designs. Mannequins wearing the costumes will meet their audience in an exhibition in and around the heart of Aarhus city from 31st March to 5th May 2017. The Business Perspective In times of massive disruption and innovation, new ideas, new shapes and new processes are welcome distractions from business as we know it. This project focuses on the next generation of talented creative minds. ANYbody bridges the fields of fashion, art, architecture and textile design and challenges Danish talents to work their magic in the most extreme versions of fashion. The quest for each designer is to produce a costume that will challenge the boundaries of the human silhouette, to push our view of the world far beyond industry norms and business as usual. By introducing undiscovered and upcoming talent, ANYbody aims to give Aarhus and the region an unforgettable experience, as well as providing a showcase for an extreme representation of creativity that will inspire and enrich the creative industries. By showcasing the finest creative minds, this project intends to inspire business employers to create jobs for talented young people and to realize they help reform and develop organizations by bringing new life and innovation.
