Olga Boyarinova's "STILL
The "STILL" fashion exhibition by artist and fashion designer Olga Boyarinova has opened with curatorial support from the conceptual art gallery VIGOARTS.
The exhibition showcases a unique collection of haute couture gowns transformed into art objects, a concept that reflects the growing movement towards slow fashion and a conscious rejection of consumerism in the fashion industry.
The exhibition features gowns crafted from chiffon, with Boyarinova's signature use of epoxy resin. These ethereal garments, resembling weightless sculptures, are suspended in a timeless moment. Each gown is a unique piece, imbued with Boyarinova's personal message about the art of high fashion: "Fashion is, first and foremost, art. Haute couture pieces are unique. By emphasizing their uniqueness and value, I want to show the vast chasm that separates them from the mass-produced clothing that has flooded our planet... My aim is to stop the frenzied pace of consumption by shifting the focus from product to art, aesthetics, and beauty."
Where: the Port a Season space (Seasons gallery) in Moscow.
