Project Description

This event primarily aims to create a fusion of artistic and fashion statements in a single location and showcase them in one night. The colorful display of fashion-oriented artistic works is going to be born out of the participation of interested members from the English, GRS, Art, and Art History departments at UA. These participants, comprising students and faculty, will be practitioners of the artistic and literary forms prevalent on campus.

The event will feature a minimum of five, and a maximum of ten contributors, and the program will potentially include a panel discussion. The discussion, led by fashion-conscious grad students and lecturers who do research in fashion and literature/art (however tangential their research might be), will explore the diverse ways in which fashion influences artistic practices. The inclusion of a panel discussion will be dependent on the number of people that sign up to showcase their works.

In the promotion of holistic self-expression, contributors will present their works while adorned in fashion that complements or relates to their artistic creations. Their fashion statements will be as pronounced as the works that they are showcasing. Also, attendees will be encouraged to make their own fashion statements on this night of creative convergence, complete with a red carpet and vox pop interviews conducted by a host from either of the involved departments.

The night will conclude with closing remarks and an open invitation for attendees to join in a celebratory gathering with food and drinks.
