There have been debates going on for the past several years about the issue whether fashion should be considered as art. Fashion design is often blamed for its hypocrisy - for the fact that the clothing results or fashion creations cause unification, which suppresses the originality of an individual. On the other hand, fashion is considered as some kind of a statement carried on one’s own body. That’s also the theme for the main video out of Klara’s work that became an official video for Canadian musician DropxLife who’s been the producer for his famous friend The Weeknd.
We are probably addressing this issue here due to the fact that the space of the Start up project in the Colloredo–Mansfeld Palace will be occupied by vests with embroidery and a video clip containing these vests by Klára Hosnedlová (Vystrčilová), instead of paintings or sculpture.
