‘Rare Forms’: Where Fashion Flirts with Art | 2024
Agata Rek’s latest collection, born from a deeply personal narrative, bridges the worlds of fashion and art, deconstructing familiar forms to explore the space between memory and creation. Rooted in her childhood memories of watching her mother, Bridget, transform abstract shapes into meticulously crafted garments, this body of work reflects Agata's journey to piece together fragments of the past into something beautifully cohesive.
With an eye for detail and a fascination for deconstruction, Agata draws parallels between her mother's creative process and her own. Just as Bridget repurposed and transformed fabric, Agata reinterprets fashion photographs, deconstructing and rearranging them to create something entirely new. The collection serves as an homage to those formative moments, capturing the determination, frustration, and beauty of creation.
Through a series of captivating works, Agata flirts with the essence of fashion, deconstructing it just as her mother did with fabric patterns, reshaping them into something unique and meaningful. This collection invites viewers to see beyond the surface and reflect on the transformative power of creativity—a reflection of both past influences and present visions.
