SPELLS is an immaterial fashion concept developed in 2009 by Ingrid Cogne, Erik Annerborn and Hedda Viå. It is currently operated by Ingrid and Erik. For SPELLS, body languages – gestures, poses and relation(alitie)s between individuals and objects – replace clothes as the carrier of values, codes, and meanings in public space. In a world where scarcity of materials is imminent – and the source of ongoing and future death of peoples and other living beings – it is urgent to question fashion as a system. Our goal is to dematerialize the fashion system, supply the public with forms of expressions for a post-material age, and to enhance the presence of emancipated bodies in public space. SPELLS has manifested along the years through various formats – such as performance, film, visual art and graphic design – welding together Fashion, Choreography, Visual Arts, and Critical Design. ︎SPELLS Website ︎TEXTile Manifestoes book For inquiries, collaborations and further information, e-mail us at info@immaterialfashion.com |
