This idea is the result of an academic project developed by students and teachers of ESDIR, Escuela Superior de Diseño de La Rioja (High School of Design in La Rioja). This school is a State-managed centre that offers Quality Artistic Training in Graphic, Interior, Product and Fashion Design.
The design and dress-making of the garments depicted in each painting will be carried out through innovation in the formal aspects and the use of material. By doing so, this workshop will research the use of alternative materials to textiles, materials that are not that common in fashion design (sanitary masks, mosquito nets, wires and cables, bike tires, etc.)
The models wearing the designed garments, will adopt a classical pose similar to those in the paintings. The photographer on the other hand, will interpret them from a contemporary perspective
“Renaissance Collection: from fashion in painting to fashion photography” will be open to the public until Saturday 22nd April 2017. Admission free.
