Beyond Garment Seminar

The Beyond Garment Seminar was held on the 4th September at the WA Maritime Museum Fremantle and was to "Explore the boundaries between art and fashion in the realm of accessories, where cutting-edge design and aesthetics collide with the economy of ‘the wearable’ and the ‘consumer desirable’. How does the tension between these ideas inform the practice of contemporary designers?". 

"Presentations included
- Slippages: between art, design and fashion by Anne Farren, Exhibition Curator, Beyond Garment;
- Why shouldn’t an academic wear animal print corduroy pants? by Dr Ann Schilo, School of Design and Art, Curtin University;
- What’s a girl to do? Turning art into fashion…as well as fashion into art by Dr Kirsten Hudson, Artist and Philosopher."
