“For 18 days, theatre products work site moved into the Parco Museum.
We will release the daily life of fashion brands live. " |
|
Theatre products that have taken everything around clothes as theater-like, and have continued to make clothes. Finally, an unprecedented and breaking project, in which the "Theatre Products Site" goes on stage as it is and releases all of it, is realized.
Theatre Products has established a unique world by maximizing the ability of clothes to wait and its appeal through dramatic presentations such as shows and performances incorporating music, contemporary dance, magic, etc., and collaboration with creators from various fields, in a unique space that made a shocking debut with the "needle punch".
In this exhibition, the production site, which is usually behind the scenes, will be the main stage, and we will show all of theater products through archives of collections that have celebrated the fifth anniversary, fashion photographs that will be the first attempt, and installations that symbolize the flow of products. |

We will publish the real-time site. |

| ─ THEATRE PRODUCTS ─ |
|
Clothes are formed by a unique feeling of air that is born when worn.
It depends on the delicate balance of various elements such as materials, forms and colors, and involves time and space.
Clothes are theater-like products, but the fact that there is a company that designs, produces, and sells clothes, is also a theater-like thing.
In other words, the reality of the fact that an organization (company) that develops "body-mediated expression" at a daily level is physical in a corner of the world is a living fable about the structure of the theater.
Theatre Products continue to think about fashion itself by working on fashion.
Every place, every situation, if there is fashion, it is completed as a theater. |
