Tess van Zalinge x Fashion for Good - Exhibition Sneak Peak

A snippet from our digital 'behind the scenes' session with the designer of our latest museum exhibition - Tess van Zalinge! The exhibition has been fully upcycled and both digitally and physically created - approaching sustainability in a new way, as part of our current theme at the museum 'A Cut Above' in which we look at the many ways that we can design, make and wear fashion differently. But the exhibition is not yet complete. Tess, together with Designer Floor Nijdeken and Projectbureau-x, has created an installation especially for Patchwork 2020, where visitors to the museum can work together on a patchwork. In this way, anyone can contribute to a new demi-couture piece which Tess will finish after the exhibition; a symbolic gesture to how we can change the industry together. Designer Floor Nijdeken creates social installations using embroidery or, in this case, patchwork pieces, where different generations can work together on a collective product and thus generate engagement with visitors. Tess shares insights into the development of the collection - including sketches, digital renders and the physical pieces on display at Fashion for Good. The exhibition is on display from October 1st to November 30th - you can sign up for a special in person tour with Tess via http://fashionforgood.com/expo, or if you would like to see some of the exhibition from wherever you are in the world, you can always sign up for one of our digital museum tours via https://fashionforgood
