Fashion Experience - Decolonize Fashion is a fashion event that challenges the status quo of fashion and delves into the concept of decolonizing fashion. Using a variety of participatory media such as photographs, films, and sound installations, different performances and fashion installations will be presented. The focus is on raising awareness around the topic "Decolonize Fashion" and critically examining "waste colonialism." Together, new narratives are to be created, stereotypes broken, and paths towards a fairer and more conscious fashion and design production established. The event takes place at the Design Zentrum Hamburg, where visitors have the opportunity to actively participate, listen, or simply be present and be inspired by the transforming world of decolonized fashion. A special emphasis is placed on the African fashion movement, where designers from Ghana, South Africa, Rwanda and Ivory Coast are introduced, promoting positive change.
