Collaged Clothes was an interactive workshop held as part of the Everything & Everybody as Material: Dialogical Bodies, Artistic Research Exchange at the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås, Sweden in April of 2024. The workshop explored how everyday people can reimagine mass-produced garments using collage. Participants in the workshop were offered a range of second-hand garments and current fashion magazine photographs (that had been printed onto length of fusible fabric) to work with. By collaging the photographs onto the garments, they explored the use of collage as both an image-making and garment-making method and devise a range of personalised fashion-images using these materials.
