Marta Herford, Herford

Fashion has always been a delicate balance between social norms and individual self-expression. But where does it stand today in the face of enormous acceleration and global production structures?
What influence do social media have on the formation of one’s own identity? And what are the materials of tomorrow? With artistic contributions going back over the last twenty years, this exhibition creates a lively panorama of current phenomena in the fashion world. Pressing issues in the fashion industry, spotlights on international designers, as well as opportunities for personal participation open up a fascinating expedition to everyday social life, and allow fashion to be experienced as a dazzling narrative about our complex present.
