Four curators, Walter Van Beirendonck, Amy de la Haye, Judith Clark and Kaat Debo were invited by London College of Fashion’s Alison Moloney (Curator, International Exhibitions Programme) to express a moment in fashion or dress from 1914.

One film focuses upon the cusp of modernity by exploring a surviving tea gown, whilst another takes the Futurist Manifesto of Balla to launch an exploration of contexts and display props.
The protective headgear of war – a helmet from 1914 – forms commentary on the political landscape of today, and a newly commissioned dress represents the tension between the desire for ornament and the search for the Modern.

The curators have collabored with filmmakers including Bart Hess, James Norton, Katerina Athanasopoulou and Marie Schuller.
This project was inspired by Rem Koolhaas’s brief to the national pavilions in the Giardini of the Venice Architecture Biennale Absorbing Modernity 1914 to 2014. Alongside the films is a catalogue, available on the UAL e-store, containing essays from the curators and responses from architectural historians and practitioners and critics of the avant-gardes, which explore how moments of modernity in fashion collide with those of other disciplines.
