DIZAJN // Showcase by Serbian fashion designers

The showcase DIZAJN borns from the desire from the gallery to highlight another art form in which Serbian artists denote style and creativity, or fashion design. Six designers chosen to represent Serbia: known names selected for the event, appreciated by magazines such as Vogue Talents and also published in many other newspapers.

In fact the showcase was intended to be part of the curatorial project YMETHOCT // Contemporary Serbia, the group exhibition realized with the support of Confindustria Serbia counting the presence of the following artists: TKV, Stevo Mandić, Mile Šaula, Dragan Đorđević, DiStruktura, Nina Stanković, Ljubomir Vučinić, Tijana Knežević, Nikola Božović, Biljana Milenković, Mina Radović The young designers offered an overview of their collections relating jewels (Studio Manufactura), menswear (Kony Miami), women's clothing bon ton style (Maradu), gypsy glam (Gala Borović Studio) or monumental (Dajana Vasić), for reach up to the wearable sculptures already finalists at the prestigious ITS Contest (Sonja Iglič).

An exhibition within an exhibition, this is the intent of the creators: a dialogue between painting and fashion in which these two actually mimic with each other, playing with the role and the weight given to them in a possible ranking inside the Art. And it is precisely for this reason that clothes are framed like paintings or jewels are freed from their incidental nature to approach a statuesque seriousness, while the paintings are "stripped" of their sacred aura to prove simple traces of personal experience of an individual, told by means of the techniques of painting.

The showcase DIZAJN intended, therefore, provide a small insight into the fashion scene this time in Serbia, emphasizing creativity and beauty that depict the facets and faces of this fascinating country.
