INSTALLAZIONI
 
Jens Laugesen – XXL JACKET
XXL JACKET is an installation that has been toured to date at various museums and fashion events in the UK, Germany, and Denmark. The piece for the author is a perfect example of how mistakes become art, as the grader, by mistake, produced the jacket pattern incorrectly twice, ultimately resulting in an art installation.  
 
Anna Breit & Gerald Brandstätter, Peter Fellner, Lena Haslinger, Marilies Luger, Max Menschhorn, Hannah Pekarz, Mia Trotz, Sookie-Celeste Simair
Anna works across fashion photography and artistic projects, focusing on people and relationships, particularly those within families and among friends. She shoots exclusively on film and often uses a bright, powerful flash, retouching her photos very little. She took photos of student collections from the Fashion & Technology courses, and the selection is printed on tencel and displayed on the display structures designed by Supervoid.
