Final Gala of the XXVII Edition of Off Fashion

The theme of the XXVII edition of the International Competition for Fashion Enthusiasts and Designers OFF Fashion is "FIRE" - a burning planet as the starting point for fashion designers.

Fire in this edition carries broad symbolism: it is the destructive force of the climate crisis, but also the energy and creative spark capable of initiating change. In folk cultures it was associated with healing, in alchemy and psychotherapy - with transforming negative experiences into positive force. History also knows it as an instrument of punishment.

The competition poses specific questions to participants: how can form, material, and message express care for the planet? How to combine aesthetics with ethics, innovation with ecology? "FIRE" is an invitation to experiment with recycling and upcycling, to transform discarded raw materials into valuable projects that reduce negative environmental impact.

The Final Gala of the XXVII edition of OFF Fashion can be viewed at the Kielce Cultural Center in Kielce.
