Fashion

Hello artists,

We are thrilled to announce an open-call for collaborations with The Emporio Aragão, a luxurious artwear fashion brand. If you are an artist who appreciates a discerning and cultured lifestyle, then this opportunity is for you.

Inspired by legendary collaborations that have seamlessly fused fashion and art, such as Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami, Elsa Schiaparelli x Salvador Dalí, Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama, Gucci x Unskilled Worker, and Alexander McQueen x Damien Hirst, we seek to nurture similar synergies with artists who not only collaborate artistically but also embody the role of brand ambassadors, enriching our commitment to a premium experience.

Overview
The four-week Indigenous Haute Couture Fashion Residency, led by faculty lead D’Arcy Moses, will offer eight Indigenous textile-based artists the opportunity to incorporate upcycled and/or digital embellishments into their work and to develop their designs and pattern development skills. 

Indigenous fashion makers and designers will explore experimental elements or accomplish finished productions of their work with an haute couture aesthetic in a fully supported environment.
