How the contribution of amateurs has changed the definition of an archive in fashion. (Work in progress)

How the contribution of amateurs has changed the definition of an archive in fashion. (Work in progress) The interest in the Archive of fashion considerably increased over the last 10 years in academic studies as well as in popular culture. Nowadays, due to its digital adaptation, archives have become deeper and more complex but at the same time much more open to the public. Archive passed from numerous meanings throughout the years, from depository of a designer’s legacy to more recently in the own collectors’ wardrobes. Is for this reason that it is hard to give one singular definition to Archive in fashion since its continuous changes have refined the whole meaning.  In general, ‘the archive or archives are a collection of documents and records that contain historical information’ , so —in fashion— refers to garments from the past body of work of any given designer or brand, that are not part of the current collection, and that represents its heritage.   Nowadays, institutions, bra

  On October 28th of 2021, Chloe Campbell and Flor Violeta Sobrequés presented the first Aurembiaix ’s collection. The location of the show is the entrance to an industrial warehouse located in Hospitalet (Barcelona) which is also the studio of the artist Carlota Guerrero.   The show starts with a car advancing towards the corridor, illuminating the spectators seated at both sides of the runway, followed by a scooter driven by Maria Gaminde dressed in white. Another car appears and stops with its headlights aimed at the public. The music fills the space between the gray walls, a model enters and starts walking towards the car’s headlights. The show continues with another 14 models wearing 17 looks in total. Ramona, look 16. The palette is dominated by pale and neutral colours, in particular white, gray and black. Some items like jackets, skirts and corsets are decorated with ribbons which are also used for the hair, as necklaces or worn between fingers. The skirts are flounced and flar
