Forum 301, 301 W. Ohio St., Chicago
Fashion builds, restricts, exaggerates, protects, conceals, and transforms. Forum 301 examines how garments move between architecture, sculpture, and performance transformed by the presence of a living body. This exhibition brings together a dynamic selection of garments and fashion-based works that explore the intersection of creativity, craftsmanship, identity, and culture. From streetwear and avant-garde fashion to leatherwork, theatrical garments, lingerie, sustainable design, and experimental approaches, the exhibition highlights the many ways designers use clothing as a medium for artistic expression.
