FASHIONPL AY<br />
Fashionplay is originally a website that was launched in December 2006<br />
by Therese Dahlqvist (Royal College of Fine Arts) and Helena Hertov<br />
(University College of Art Crafts and Design). Specially invited designers,<br />
scientists and artists are allocated space on the website to describe their<br />
<strong>fashion</strong>-related projects using both pictures and words.<br />
During Fashion Week, an exhibition will be arranged that presents six<br />
new projects while Therese Dahlqvist introduces “Urbanfem”, collections<br />
created through workshops that examine how <strong>fashion</strong> is used to explore<br />
identity and affiliation. Helena Hertov will show the film “Feeders” where<br />
the world of <strong>fashion</strong> moves into a “House of pigs”.<br />
N Presentation Tuesday 14 Aug. Open to the public Tuesday 14 to<br />

UNGDESIGN<br />
Children’s ”crazy” <strong>fashion</strong> drawings come to life on a catwalk.<br />
Ungdesign is a project that gives children between the ages 6 and 12<br />
the chance to express themselves in <strong>fashion</strong> and art. The end result is a<br />
collection based on <strong>fashion</strong> drawings created by the children. A total of<br />
15 garments have been produced based on these children’s imaginations.<br />
Bold colours, candy and “bizarre” forms are the core. The end results are<br />
displayed in adult sizes in a <strong>fashion</strong> show in collaboration with Hennes &<br />
Mauritz and Kulturhuset.<br />
Project initiator is Fredrik Samuelsson who studies men’s <strong>fashion</strong> at<br />
Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London.<br />
