The Nordic House in Reykjavik, Iceland, is proud to announce that it will be hosting the first NORDIC FASHION BIENNALE from 19.3 to 05.4.2009.
Launching the event in Reykjavik is no coincidence, as this year’s focus will be on outstanding fashion and jewelry from the West-Nordic nations: the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland.
This year’s main event is “In Front of Creativity”, a design exhibition featuring the cream of West-Nordic fashion selected by curator Matthias Wagner K from Berlin. His selection demonstrates the influence of nature, art and society on West-Nordic designers. This includes the choice of materials, colors and form.
Highlights
Highlights at the NORDIC FASHION BIENNALE include the Icelandic Design Days, during which the Nordic House will be filled with Icelandic fashion design, showrooms and parties.
Other events will include a conference on sustainability in the fashion industry, a seminar on future cooperation between West-Nordic fashion designers, and inspiring talks from successful Nordic designers such as Gudrun & Gudrun from the Faroe Islands. In addition, a photo exhibition will take place on Nordic Street Style at the Biennale-pop up-Bar where other events such as talks, Fashion-Cinema and Marketplace will also be held.
In Front of Creativity, NORDIC FASHION BIENNALE, is a forum for professionals as well as a cultural festival for city-dwellers and visitors. This is the place for inspiration and critical thinking.
The Nordic Fashion Biennale website is now open and will be updated regularly with media material as well as information about the event and speakers.
