Fashion Re:Generation
Group Exhibition
9–26 May 2024
Australia currently contributes 200,000 tonnes of clothing to landfills every year. As a new generation of fashion designers, we have a responsibility to act on this environmental destruction and challenge the systems of fashion.
Fashion Re:Generation exhibits the work of RMIT Bachelor of Fashion (Design) (Honours) graduates who are at the forefront of innovation and circular fashion design. This exhibition displays the works of six designers: Aviva Gandler, Evie Rosa, Felicia Tiktikakis, Helena Bucheggar, Poppy Somers, and Shae Guttler. These projects are created without the constraints of commercial viability, speculating on the future of the fashion industry through their practices of re-use and upcycling, considering circular and regenerative fashion practices.
Proposing practices of circularity through overprint, reconstruction of garments, crochet, and shredding, these designers speculate ways in which textile waste can be reconsidered through regenerative fashion design.
Fashion Re:Generation is part of Melbourne Design Week 2024. Melbourne Design Week and the Victorian Design Program are initiatives of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
Featured Designers: Aviva Gandler, Evie Rosa, Felicia Tiktikakis, Helena Buchegger, Poppy Somers, Shae Guttler.
Please note that some of the work exhibited in Fashion Re:Generation are not for sale.
Please join us for a drink to celebrate the opening of Fashion Re:Generation on Friday 10 May (6–8PM).
