AN/ARCHIVE

AN/ARCHIVE - EVENT ONE, is a preview of the future research center dedicated to fashion studies. From January 9th to 21st at the Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence, EVENT ONE will unfold as a multidisciplinary experience centered around the main theme The Body, offering an engaging exploration of the relationship between fashion and the human body.

THE BODY

The human body stands at the forefront of fashion – it is the canvas upon which designers express their creativity and vision. The Body as the central theme of AN/ARCHIVE EVENT ONE delves into this intrinsic relationship, exploring how fashion shapes and is shaped by our physical form. This theme invites a contemplative journey through various interpretations of the body in fashion, from the way garments drape and move to the societal and cultural significances imbued in fashion. 

It’s a celebration and examination of the body through the lens of style, identity and artistic expression.
