Crossing borders in small groups? Top creatives and industry professionals share their recipes for success and provide you with new input. In an effective mix of inspiring presentations and hands-on tasks, you will work together as a team or alone on inspiring solutions.
Creativity is not only a decisive factor in the development of new products and services, but also plays an important role in decision-making and problem-solving. In this workshop, Andreas Bunsen, one of the brains behind creativeALPS and the Hutschn project, will show current examples that demonstrate how creative thinking can have a positive influence on an entire living space, from complex action to the binding design of a project. The workshop inspires and breaks down established routines and boundaries. It helps participants to question their own ideas and introduces processes and creative methods with which concepts can be developed, qualitatively assessed and improved.
The second part of the workshop is all about practical application.
A workshop for anyone who wants to try out their creativity and get new input.
We've all been there: people stand in front of their full closet and sigh: I have nothing to wear. Or they enthusiastically set off on a fashion spree and come back disappointed because they have found "nothing". Although fashion should be fun, many people are just as often frustrated by fashion. Where is the line between fun and frustration with fashion? And why is the relationship with fashion so ambivalent? Does fashion connect people or does it exclude individuals? Where is the line between clothing and fashion? Who actually makes fashion? And for whom?
Which creative minds think about, plan and develop our clothing? What of this actually reaches the customer? What boundaries do fashion designers have to submit to and how can they overcome limitations with their creativity? Fashion wants to exude exclusivity - and thus by definition already excludes. Yet fashion styles also have unifying elements between their wearers and can also be a distinguishing feature of like-minded people.
If there are to be fewer inequalities in fashion, a rethink is needed among all those involved. Sustainability, respect for resources and employees in the textile industry, consideration of customer wishes and a review of one's own consumer behavior - all of this should not just be a question of personal budget.
Reinhard Hölscher and Christin Gerum are creative minds with years of experience in the fashion industry. In their workshop, they will give an in-depth insight into their work and would like to share this and much more with the participants.
