EXPOSED 2024

EXPOSED Textile and Fashion Department 2024

EXPOSED A struggle, an almost physical battle with material and shape to capture a zeitgeist.

An intrinsic drive for creativity and imagination.

Exploring and activating ideas to express a personal vision.

Creating narratives that confront us with ourselves and our evertransforming society.

Despite our urge to continuously search and innovate, we now take a pause to come together and share what this curious and tenacious generation of designers has to say.

Not daunted by expectations, they are audacious to break free from already beaten paths. They experiment and discover unconditionally; take risks to be surprised by their own imagination.

Sharing their ideas is a privilege and a generous gesture, but be aware of the vulnerability it requires.

Feel their urge and experience their ambition, here, together, now and into the future.

Let go of your own expectations, and enjoy the ride.
