ASH exhibition by Hairo Rojas

ASH Is the conceptual interpretation of thirteen fashion designers who, based on a constellation´s legend, show a scenario full of nostalgia and stories told by its main characters.

Mod/a/rte is a collective of 19 young artists , whose show ASH is currrently displayed at the National Gallery at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Dominican Republic. 13 fashion designers, 1 photographer, 1 art director , 1 graphic designer, 1 fashion guru, 1 make up artist and 1 hairstylist are the responsible of this exhibition.

Continuing the change that began last year with the show “Who killed the king?”, ASH is the conceptual interpretation of 13 fashion designers who based on a legend, present a show full of nostalgia and stories, as told by its main characters.

By using fashion, the group seeks to present fashion as pure creative art, not clothing. 12 dresses tell their stories to a listening shrine. Based on a visual language, each garment communicate the qualities of supreme being who wears it, while the photographs show each supreme being within its atmosphere, with the characteristic color skin of the constellation to which it belongs.

“Legend has it that at Oracle, such beauty had never been seen. Only something so tragic could lead to match the 12 Supreme beings of the constellations of sun´s path. In search of answers, they presents their story to the Oracle.”

The fashion designers: Ainek Abreu (DR), Adriana Rivera (PR), Beatriz Lopez(PR), Carlos Frank(DR), Carlos de Moya (DR), Carla Carbonell (DR), Cinthia Avelino (DR), Jose Duran (NY), Larissa Salcedo (DR), Laura Guerrero (DR), Michelle Ramirez (DR) and Miguel Genao (DR).
