ART FASHION, known as “Fashion with a Cause,” is an extraordinary event that seamlessly merges the worlds of art and fashion. Its unique concept aims to transform artists into designers and designers into artists, resulting in a creative fusion that pushes boundaries and sparks meaningful discussions on important subjects in Aruba. At the heart of ART FASHION lies a powerful purpose: to go beyond mere aesthetics and delve into the realm of social consciousness. Each edition of the event focuses on thought-provoking topics that are significant and relevant to the island. By intertwining art and fashion, ART FASHION provides a platform for artists and designers to channel their creativity and express their perspectives on these crucial subjects.
Art Fashion = Fashion with a cause!
The theme for 2023 is: “Unchained”
Where Creativity Breaks Chains.
“Unchained” is an ambitious and empowering project that aims to break barriers and celebrate freedom and individuality. This year’s theme embodies the spirit of liberation & freedom. Through our showcase, we aim to shed light on the historical significance and transformative movement and celebrate the progress made towards a more just and inclusive world.
Together with the participating designers we want to encourage meaningful conversations that challenge the status quo and inspire a collective commitment to a more equitable, empathic, inclusive and diverse future; a world free of oppression.
Through art and fashion we envision a future where individuals can embrace their uniqueness without fear or prejudice, breaking the chains of discrimination and intolerance.
Together, we can break the chains of the past and forge a future built on freedom, empathy, and understanding.
