"Fashion stands for cultural identity giving meaning to image, clothing and wearing. An interplay of reciprocal - values, language, collective imaginary, technology, production, and replication."
Charlotte Delacour (Freelance Curator) (France)

"In my curatorial practice, I envision fashion as a medium materialising my thoughts. the objects are the equivalent of the words I would write if my exhibition were an essay. Fashion helps me exploring and talking about histories and topics I do not know yet and in a playful way."
