‘Atado y Deshecho’

(bound & undone)

 

Puerto Rican designer Jay Calderin's full scale concept collection will be installed in the School of Fashion Design’s A Gallery in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Calderin explains that the theme, “Atado y Deshecho refers to the fine balance between how clothing can represent the ties that bind us when we are slaves to it and how it can also set us free through self expression."

 

The installation will also feature runway photographs of the collection by photographer Tracy Aiguier and a screening of the exclusive fashion runway video.

 

This, the latest in a series of ‘fashion as art’ projects by Jay Calderin, was developed with a team of five assistant designers from the ranks of the School of Fashion Design:

Joe Carl,

Julie DeSimone,

Amy Ozay,

Carol Silva

& Michele Stanley.
 

Exhibit runs from

September 16th thru October 14th

GUERILLA FASHION

A BRAVE NEW WORLD OF STYLE

Are you involved in fashion and feeling adrift or uninspired? Do you have a burning desire to work in the fashion industry? Learn how you can be a part of a new cultural movement designed to re-program a precious natural resource -- fashion!

 
After ten years of serving our community, the force behind fashionWEEK Boston recognizes the need for a strategic change in how to best nurture and celebrate fashion talent in New England.

 

This new approach is guerillafashion. The traditional model for surviving as an artist and thriving as a business - in the local fashion industry, has become outmoded and irrelevant. Fashion is now about a complete lifestyle - and this lifestyle is about information, innovation and communication.

 

Thanks to limitless technology and passionate community spirit, the time has come for the cultural re-programming of a precious local resource - the fashion professionals who live and work in New England. Pioneers on the local fashion scene have undertaken an ambitious plan to engage the future of fashion head on!

Whether you simply wish to be a witness to this next wave, or have the desire to roll up your sleeves and help lead the way, this introductory one night event is your ticket. The forum begins with a seminar which will pose the big question - Who and what will be the next defining force in fashion throughout New England?

The discussion will then explore key elements in this evolutionary process.

EDUCATION

Staying informed through RECON MISSIONS

CONNECTION

Interacting with like minds in THINK TANKS

MOBILIZATION

Being a catalyst for change as part of STRIKE FORCES

Learn how this new grassroots effort will be taking up the challenge of defining and developing fashion in the region.
