The HAT-DRESSES exhibition is a large selection of the striking garments can be seen in the art installation HAT-DRESSES Part I and; II. With this small scale exhibition, Corsage-Studio wants to comment on existing views regarding the accessory. No fashion items are more heavily marketed than accessories. As objects of our greatest desire, they have become larger than life, overshadowing the clothing they were meant to complement. HAT-DRESSES PART I and; II plays with this notion – along with the idea that accessories such as hats and sunglasses make the person wearing them less visible, even invisible. LINK corsage
