About

Dr. Remie Cibis is a critical and expanded fashion practitioner and Associate Lecturer in Fashion & Textiles at RMIT University, Melbourne. Her research explores how clothes can be understood as images and what this means for wearers. Combining garment-making, performance, photography, and interactive workshops, she seeks to understand how fashion-images are produced and to design new opportunities for wearers to fashion their own representations using material and participatory fashion practices.

Cibis’ work has been shown at Melbourne Fashion Festival, Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, and in various gallery spaces including Conical, First Site and  Federation Square’s FedTV. Recent projects include The Ideal Tee, The University of New South Wales (Sydney/Eora), Less is More.
