Выставка “DYSFASHIONAL” – не совсем обычная. Да, она посвящена моде, но коллекций одежды вы на ней не увидите. Задумка организаторов в том, чтобы посмотреть на моду с иной стороны, подойти к ней с точки зрения эстетической концепции, которая значит намного больше, чем очередной набор костюмов и аксессуаров. DYSFASHIONAL собрал самых креативных фэшн-дизайнеров для того, чтобы они выразили свое ощущение мира моды, свою вселенную.
