DIRECTION SOUTH-SOUTH-EAST

SOTO – Association for the contemporary Slovene textile design and clothing presents:
DIRECTION SOUTH – SOUTH-EAST
Sales exhibition of fashion design of the South and South-East Europe
(Paraphrase to the Hitchock’s cult film South-South-East, the story of mixed identities)

What’s the identity of South-Eastern fashion design and designers, constituting it? Is it the geographical notion of the South-East Europe, the changing cultural, social and economical categories, the stereotypes, the moving borders? Is it the nostalgic view of the Eastern Bloc, transitory postcommunism bricollage or the reflection of modern Eastern Europe? It is all this and more. Exhibition, examining the identity of South-East modern design and its constitutive designers, present the recognizable contemporary, avant-garde, conceptualizing and trend-setting fashion designers from Croatia, Poland, Latvia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Ukraine and Slovenia. “Direction South – South-East” is therefore the first exhibition not only inside Slovenian scale, but also in Europe, where the best of fashion designers and brands of this field are going to presents themselves.
So adjust your fashion compass to direction South- South-East!
