Time : 11:00 am - 7:00 pm

Event Details : “The Idea of Fashion”, an exhibition of art installations and garments. The exhibition showcases work done by five artists and fashion designers during a unique art and fashion residency at Khoj Studios.
The participating fashion designers and artists of the residency who will show their works are Mithu Sen (artist, New Delhi), Manisha Parekh (artist, New Delhi), Anay Mann (photographer, New Delhi), Arjun Saluja (fashion designer, New Delhi) and Kallol Datta (fashion designer, Kolkata).
Says Pooja Sood, Director Khoj International Artist Association: “The residency questions the role that fashion plays in shaping everyday realities and dreams, the individual and collective processes of identity, self perception, communication; what is intended with these perceptions and processes? What is achieved and what is at play here, what is at stake and the powerful role that fashion has played in history and continues to play. The main idea of the residency is to explore what fashion means to an individual, and how we can one start seeing it as an artifact and instrument in society beyond fashion as we understand it of the ‘fashion shows’ and ‘fashion weeks”.
Through art installations and garments, the artists and designers presents different perceptions about fashion. As per Anay Mann and Mithu Sen, the workshop is more about understanding and delving into how fashion changes identity and behaviour. On the other hand, artist Manisha Parekh treats the residency as a physiological journey into the minds of fashion designers to understand the attitude and philosophy behind experimenting with various fabrics and materials..
The two fashion designers Arjun Saluja and Kallol Dutta want to get back to the basics and experience the excitement of group working and hence understand the minds of artist and how they use it in terms of fashion. Both of them believe that artists and fashion designers both have same sense of expression though the medium is different.
