SORGENFRI is pleased to announce the partnership with Oslo Fushion Festival with the group exhibition SORGENFRI ARTWEAR.As one of three colluding parties during the festival, SORGENFRI will be showcasing new and well-known designers working at the intersection of fashion and art. While highlighting today’s influential voices within slow fashion, the show is pursuing the fact that a garment can also be seen as an object of the arts. “We experience that many professionals are not happy with the fashion industry as it is today. Through the next decade the industry is forced to go through a fundamental change, and we urge to bring together the Norwegian, contemporary voices of this development.

The SORGENFRI ARTWEAR exhibition corresponds to this shift by exploring the crossing between art and fashion. Working to achieve a more knowledgeable, nuanced and sustainable industry with a bigger focus on business, ethics and the craft.

The exhibition will be both an interactive digital viewing room and a physical exhibition in Oslobukta. We are happy to do this together with Oslo Fushion Festival, as we believe that SORGENFRI ARTWEAR will be an important direction for the Norwegian fashion industry in the future.” -Ingrid Bredholt and Vaar Bothner.

The SORGNEFRI ARTWEAR exhibition will be happening at three places at the same time, all interacting with each other:

Oslobukta, Operagaten 75, 11-17:00 every day

SORGENFRI, Sorgenfrigaten 16, 11-22:00 every day

sorgenfri.store, 24h

«We are incredibly pleased to announce a strong lineup of some of Norway's most exciting design talents, and our creative collaboration with the leading fashion art platforms Oslo Runway, Collective Oslo and Sorgenfri Artwear, and artist Ali Shah Gallefoss. Together we gather some of the finest creative expressions, coming together to contribute to Oslo's international position as a cultural destination,” - Elin Carlsen, CEO of Oslo Fushion Festival.
