City, Dress Me Up! is interdisciplinary project that involves architecture and fashion design. It aims towards knowledge exchange between these two creative disciplines and creation of new hybrid practices. Concept of City, Dress Me Up! is based upon series of workshops in different cities in different countries, starting with pilot workshop in Belgrade – Belgrade, Dress Me Up!
The workshops are based on the idea of transforming architectural and urban parameters of selected space, area or place into designing tools or guidelines that young designers would use in creating garments. It gathers students of architecture and fashion design, who will be working in pairs or small groups while trying to transform language of architecture and city into new product – clothes or fashion accessories.
