Pop-ups

Explore unique mini-exhibits throughout the evening. Each pop-up features a designer or maker, offering an up-close look at their work, including apparel, jewelry, and artistic accessories.

Kunterakt

The collective Kunterakt works as a collaborative medium in several areas of fashion. Their focus is on sustainability, and they work mostly with post-consumer textile waste. At the Zine opening, Kunterakt presents a spatial site-specific installation that explores the redefinition of textile material waste. It questions the unchanging (non)functioning of the fashion cycle, explores its boundaries, and the visitor is invited to disrupt its structure. The materials and the joints are deliberately processed so that the object destroys itself to some extent, highlighting the fragile nature of fast fashion.
