WRITING ON FASHION | VALIZ

Over one hundred tried, tested and speculative exercises that expand the way we look at fashion, how we are part of its system, and how we can practice fashion otherwise. 'Radical Fashion Exercises' contains a copious collection of bottom-up activities, prompts and workshops designed by contributors who explore fashion in an expanded field. Designers, curators, artists, educators, fashion practitioners, DIY home sewers, and other creatives responded to the book’s open call with contributions that challenge how to practice fashion and reflect on its systems, politics, and economics.  The exercises collected in this book embrace interdisciplinarity, experimentation and aesthetics and widen fashion’s horizons as a medium for expression, embodiment and sociality.
