An exhibition of Slovenian fashion design, which first opened at the Maribor Art Gallery in Slovenia in early June, has travelled to the Slovenian gallery in Italy's Venice.
Visitors to the A+A gallery will have an opportunity to see clothes, shoes, jewellery and other accessories at the show which is entitled "Fresh" and features 19 Slovenian contemporary fashion designers.
The curators of the show, Simona Vidmar and Jure Purgaj, believe the selected fashion designers are "the trend-setters of the Slovenian fashion scene changing the Slovenian fashion consciousness. They have a clear identity and a distinguished style".
Fashion design in Slovenia has been completely overhauled since the early 1990s, with the changed geopolitical situation prompting the relatively underdeveloped fashion industry into fast development, the curators said.
"Fresh" features the works of Uros Belantic; Lara Bohinc; Tanja Devetak Gomez; Urska & Tomaz Draz; Ursa Drofenik; Zoran Garevski; Petra Grmek; Marjeta Groselj; Leonora Jakovljevic; Tomaz Jastrobnik; Olga Kosica; Monika Lorber; Zvezdana Pelengic Strajinovic; Natasa Persuh; Jelena Prokovic; Almira Sadar & Marija Jenko; Nika & Jana Urbas; Matjaz Vlah; and Marta Vodeb.
After closing at the Maribor Art Gallery on 30 September 2004, the exhibition first travelled on to Vienna's "Unit F" gallery. The Venice show, however, will close on 1 April.
