Nurant Ilustration Mag presents 12x12, a meeting dedicated to discovering, in 12 steps, the evolution of fashion and society from the early 1900s until this day tomorrow, through the eyes of 4 illustrators for each decade.
Fragments becoming a collective exhibition, a visual timeline made of 48 illustrators and 96 works. A rich project, definitely.
12x12 is born in 2017, when Sonia Mion and Nicola Iannibello (Nurant / VZNstudio) open a series of exhibitions at Milano Fashion Library. Each month for a year, 12x12 explores over a century of fashion, one decade after the other, starting from 1900 and reaching 2020.
This is not the first time Nurant deals with fashion: in 2015 they dedicated a whole issue of the magazine to it.
Back then it was about “fashion soup”: an actual soup on the “out of fashion” world.
But the past reappears, so here is the need for coming back at an obsession we considered exorcised.
