Common Thread

Intro

Common Thread surveys the works of fashion designers and the journeys taken to develop their works. The works featured draw from the designers cultural roots - all while pushing the boundaries of the traditional. As a result, the works also act as a reflection of the designers' personal relationship with their cultural backgrounds. Rather than follow the format of a traditional fashion show, this exhibition focuses on showcasing the creative process of designers, placing importance and priority on the oft-forgotten behind-the-scenes development of each work.

DESCRIPTION

The exhibition ran from 12 Jan 2023 to 2 February 2023 at Earl Lu Gallery, Institution of Contemporary Art Singapore‍.

One of the many firsts in my journey as an art manager & curator, Common Thread is an exhibition that was staged as part of ARTWALK 2023. My co-curator, Ashley Han Jiwon and I collaborated together on the curatorial concept, exhibition design and necessary caption writing for the exhibition.
We also worked together to interview the designers featured in the exhibition.
