Professional designers and researchers, practitioners and theorists all agree that the things we use daily are capable of "speaking" - each has its own story to tell, each can tell about its owner or an entire era. Clothes, costumes - everything we wear on our bodies - are known to be particularly "talkative".
The second track of the Children's Design Laboratory will be devoted to fashion, style and working with textiles as a cultural text. As it is customary in our museum, that links heritage to modernity, the participants will get acquainted with both traditional textiles and modern trends in the fashion industry.
