concept

Our body moves and dances every day as we wear and interact with our accessories. Gestures we are unaware of: our body repeats movements that if taken out of context recall dance choreographies: the way we put on shoes, lift bags and swing them over our back are part of daily routines and unconscious processes. They have a bigger influence on our habits than what we are aware of. Fabia's accessories force the wearer to perform specific movements while using them. A choreography dictated by design, which also brings awareness of our postural behaviour.
