1 Granary
2019
Being inexperienced has one advantage: it’s easier to think outside of the box if you don’t know it exists. After all, new ideas can’t breathe when they’re framed by old habits. But what happens to an industry that lays out a one-size-fits-all, ready-made path for newcomers? Supposedly, there is only one way to do it right: build up an online following, get picked up by the right buyers and editors, ignore your student loan debt and show in Paris. Convention is not a friend of creation; collaboration, on the other hand, can nourish it.
That is what 1 Granary is all about. The idea behind VOID is simple: six fashion designers open up their world to be interpreted by a creative team. Thus, the young are no longer ‘ones to watch’, where all that’s visible is their relative newness; instead, their ideas are celebrated, confronted and expanded. The results prove that the best things in fashion come in teams.
VOID was conceived, designed and produced by 1 Granary
