Fashionarte

We don’t normally do fashion in magpie, but we do have a soft spot for Goshopia and its founder Araceli Gallego, repository and advocate respectively for sustainably-sourced don’t-scare-the-horses style in practical but very goodlooking wear, mostly for women. And now Goshopia is offering a month-long exhibition at Chaka Arts’ place in Al Fahidi that “reimagines sustainable fashion as museum-worthy wearable art … FashionArte represents a significant milestone in Dubai’s sustainable fashion movement, offering visitors the unique opportunity to experience eco-conscious fashion through an artistic lens while supporting ethical makers and designers”.

So, “sustainable fashion as curated art pieces”? Ms Gallego says this “revolutionises the traditional retail experience”. At the very least it will be worth checking out some big claims …

The whole experience is very fashion-y, with a catwalk and opening and closing parties (register in advance and you might get a ticket). There will also be weekly Fashion Majlis discussions:
