Alice Allogio

As a maker aiming to contribute to the discourse of critical fashion practices, Alice Alloggio explores garments as hybrid spaces for coexistence.

In The Chain Garment: Garments as Spaces for Coexistence, Alice Alloggio proposes an artistic, speculative response to today's fast-paced world. As we often find ourselves caught up in the endless demands of modern life, we leave little room for self-reflection and intimate connections with another.

The Chain Garment therefore aims to provide creatives with spaces to evoke a sense of belonging that is vital for shaping and strengthening their networks. Alloggio suggests that garments, serving as spaces for coexistence, have the potential to function as extensions, enabling us to transition effortlessly between different spaces while also serving as a foundation for practitioners to connect and resonate with one another. By engaging with fashion—through garments—as a means for coming together and creating networks of belonging and support, we can move towards re-connection and community-building.
