Ellen Poppy Hill presents a workshop and display featuring garments from her Cahun-inspired collection, recently shown in Vogue. Drawing on Claude Cahun’s exploration of identity, transformation, and performance, Hill’s work brings together fashion, sculpture, and embodiment to question how selves are constructed and perceived.
The session will combine discussion and close viewing of selected pieces, offering insight into Hill’s creative process and the ways in which historical avant-garde ideas are reimagined through contemporary fashion practice.
