SQUARE ONE will showcase cultural
trends for Fall-Winter 18/19 & highlight “What’s
Next”
- SQUARE ONE not only provides information about what’s next, it showcases leading innovators behind each trend.
- The space will come to life through experience, live on-site installations, real time art creation and talks by creative trailblazers.
- For example, an artist will demonstrate zero waste weaving, a process where waste is re-purposed into yarn.
SQUARE ONE offers the unique opportunity to physically
demonstrate the feel and influence of cultural trends while engaging everyone
involved in the creative process. The four trends/stories that will be
highlighted:
- Earth Alchemy examines the moments when our organic world collides with the digital realm.
- Engineered Identity as part of the Maker Movement, this explosion of expression stems from the tense global political climate & feelings of uncertainty. This rebellion is inspired by artists and crafting as a community.
- The Space Between is a space where the lines between female and male are blurred. Rooted in the Japanese aesthetic, The Space Between is inspired by avant-garde tailoring masters Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto, and Issey Miyake.
- Time Traveler: Through advancements in technologies like virtual reality, we are gaining hyper-real insight into the past & creating new experiences that take us to any point in history, escapism at its best. Victorian meets the Renaissance meets the Belle Époque.
SQUARE ONE headliners
include:
- Aaron Nesser, Designer/Co-founder of Remo Haptics and AlgiKnit Expert in biomaterials.
- Cynthia Alberto, Founder and Director of Weaving Hand, will demonstrate Zero Waste weaving, a process where waste is repurposed into yarn.
