For his residency from July 8 to 10 at Fashion Open Studio in Showroom, Belgian trans-disciplinary artist and fashion designer Tom Van der Borght focuses on the idea of self-care, self-love, self-acceptance and the collectivity therein. We all have difficult moments in our lives from time to time, moments of adversity. These times can feel very alone and extremely isolating, but there is also a collective side to it, as we are all dealing with similar experiences. 

From Friday, July 8 through Sunday, July 10, 10:00-17:00, everyone is invited to participate in "The Love Yourself" Workshop at Showroom. Together with Tom Van der Borght, you will work during the last three days of State of Fashion to make totems, flags, masks and other accessories made from upcycled materials. The final result will be presented on Sunday 10 July at 15:00, during 'The Love Yourself' Procession walk through the city in which sustainability, collectivity and self-care & self-love will be celebrated! 

Do you want to celebrate your self-love and contribute to creating a society that practices self-care? Then join the free 'The Love Yourself' workshop in Showroom from July 8 to 10 and/or walk with us in 'The Love Yourself Procession' on Sunday, July 10! 

Designers in Residence: Tom Van der Borght, 7- 10 July, 10:00-17:00, Showroom Arnhem, free entrance.
