How to give clothes a new value through 1950s’ French fashion and Asger Jorn

In 1959, the renowned Danish painter, Asger Jorn, opened an exhibition based on his so-called ‘modifications’ – a series of paintings he bought at a flea market in Paris and continued painting on them, thus granting new value to something old and outdated. In addition, the series was Jorn's critical commentary on the commercialism of the art world at the time. The designer has taken Jorn's idea of ‘modifications’ as a starting point and explored the 1950s’ French fashion and how to give clothes a new value by applying Jorn's dogmas.
