The designers in De.Fash.Struction explore ways of documenting the UAE’s rich cultural heritage through the medium of contemporary fashion, employing techniques of deconstruction in their newly commissioned projects for this exhibition.

The employed deconstruction techniques enable a dialogue with the past that allows designers to imagine new futures. Deconstruction challenges the relationship between memory and modernity, the enduring and the ephemeral. Garments call attention to the mechanics of their production, which in turn, becomes a process of analytic creation.
