We're excited to welcome scenographer and costume designer Fredrik Floen for his Guest Salon "On Rei Kawakubo II". In this salon, Floen will delve into fashion fandom, private collections, and lifelong inspiration. What does it mean to build a fashion collection as an act of devotion? What happens when biography and design merge—when you’re born on the same day as your muse? A follow-up to his talk from 16 November 2021 at Dramatikkens hus, On Rei Kawakubo, this session will offer a personal and performative take on one of fashion’s most enigmatic figures. Wednesday 18th of June from 18.00-20.00. Free notebooks and coffee. Welcome!

This is the 16th edition of Guest Salons; an active meeting point for free conversations around and beyond fashion, once a month at International Library of Fashion Research.
