SocialMotivatedShows

A fashion social motivated show with many designers took place at the Athenian Megaron Mousikis,organised by IPprojects. It was an evening filled of fashion shows with political and social messages. Greece has been in crisis almost for ten years and experiencing the longest period of recession, fashion couldn’t pretend that is not visible. The risk was big but audience responded with applause and surprise when the easily recognizable red vests of ΣΧΕΔΙΑ-SHCEDIA (monthly magazine that helps fellow citizens to rejoin society), worn over the mosaic motif clothes of Pavlina Kyrkou (graduate of Theory and History of Art(2014), Athens School of Fine Arts and Psycology (2008), University of Athens.)

The backdrop of 3D mapping presented modern creators of fashion and visual arts. One of them was the Greek artist Adam Martinakis (3d digital image/rendering – animation, digital sculpture, digital video, new media).

Marilena Kranioti (visual artist of Athens School of Fine Arts-ΑΣΚΤ) worked on a face-construction, creating an illusion of Adam Martinakis work, a tableau vivant.
