Fashion ephemera–from catalogues and invitations to press releases–have long been overlooked by the fashion industry and fashion academics. Fashion Remains redresses the balance, putting these objects centre stage and focusing on the wider creative practice of contemporary fashion designers, photographers, graphic designers, make-up artists and many more. Fashion ephemera are considered not as disposable promotional devices, but as windows into hidden networks of collaboration and value creation in the fashion system.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Fashion Remains explores the unseen and privately circulated fashion ephemera produced by today’s most prominent international fashion designers such as Margiela, Yamamoto and Raf Simons. Showcasing a unique archive of materials, it focuses on Antwerp’s avant-garde fashion scene and reveals the potential of these ephemeral objects to evoke and call into question material and immaterial knowledge about the fashion industry’s actors, practices and ideologies.
