The 14th Venice International Architecture Biennale closed a week ago, but it looks like some of the themes tackled by the projects showcased during it are inspiring further projects and events.
Moving from Rem Koolhaas's brief to the national pavilions in the Giardini of the Biennale - "Absorbing Modernity, 1914 to 2014", London College of Fashion's Alison Moloney (Curator, International Exhibitions Programme) invited four curators to express a moment in fashion or dress from 1914.
The four curators - Walter Van Beirendonck, Amy de la Haye, Judith Clark and Kaat Debo - were all matched with a filmmaker, including Bart Hess, James Norton, Katerina Athanasopoulou and Marie Schuller.
The evening screening of the films, hosted by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in partnership with the London College of Fashion, will include an 'in conversation' session between Amy de la Haye and architectural historian Timothy Brittian-Catlin who will look at architecture and dress in the build up to 1914.
A panel discussion (confirmed speakers include Amy de la Haye, Timothy Brittain Catlin, Judith Clark, Alison Moloney, Katerina Athanasopoulou, Marie Schuller, James Norton and Kaat Debo) on the films, modernity in dress and fashion curation will then follow.
1914 Now is at RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London W1B 1AD, 9th December 2014, 6.45 pm - 10.00 pm
