MAK DESIGN SPACE

MAK Fashion Lab signifies the start of a new series that will sound out the border realms of fashion, design, textile design, and new technologies as forms of applied arts. In collaboration with guest curator Sabine Seymour, who among other things is author of Fashionable Technology (2008), MAK will investigate the interplay of art, science, and research based on smart textiles. Invited designers, artists, and experts will fill the MAK DESIGN SPACE, a site that maintains a continuous laboratory character. Despite its experimental character, MAK Fashion Lab sees itself as an impulse generator for industrial design and production processes, and associates concretely with the textile and technology branches.
