Andrew Atwell

The UW Textile & Fashion Design Program 2021 Threads event, "Reality?" will be projected at 8:30 & 9:15 p.m., April 30-May 1, Garver Feed Mill.

Each spring, UW-Madison textile and design students host a public event featuring new fashion creations, and this year's collection takes inspiration from our distance-connected present. Threads: Reality? emerges as a filmed runway show via large-scale projection at Garver Feed Mill, for a socially distanced audience. Tickets aren't required, but you can RSVP on Facebook. A virtual exhibition can also be found here, and a streaming version premieres at 5 pm on Sunday, May 2, here.

press release: This year, reality has changed for all of us. We are physically distant but globally connected. We spend most of our time at home with our families. We see friends and grandparents on zoom. These changes have permeated everything from how we work, how we design, how we think, and how we dream.

Join us for Threads 2021: Reality? Virtual Design and Fashion Event, a socially-distant, large-scale outdoor projection. Take a step onto the virtual runway with UW-Madison’s Textile and Fashion Design students as they explore their new reality.

Projection Times: 8:30 pm, 9:15 pm each night, Garver Feed Mill 3241 Garver Green Madison

This event is free and open to the public. Masks and social distancing are required, and Ian’s Pizza will be available for purchase. For more information, visit the Threads website.
