DOING FASHION GRADUATES AT MODESUISSE, JUNE 22

Photos: Alexander Palacios

Sagil Ilyas Md. Amin @sagil.mdamin

aims to bring together all of their artistic media and practices.
The body at the core draped in sound, movement and clothing crafted for this very purpose while questioning their queer SWASIAN identity and its placement in the current societal context. Furthermore, they explore the liminal states of the body, its objectification and how softness can become a toll for radical resistance.

Blanca Bianchi @blancabianchi

is showing her collection Attention Panorama, a playful exploration of the history of display and the production of desire. It examines ideological and historical connections, translating them through materiality, construction and styling.

Josefa Lüscher @j00sef44_

explores with her collection the relationship between material, silhouette and craftsmanship. Centered on the possibilities of jersey, she transforms stretched fabrics into unexpected textures, distorted volumes, and visual tension. The instinctive construction demonstrates technique beyond precision to challenge perception and evoke discomfort.

We are also proud to see HGK Alumnae at modesuisse:

Elvira Grau @elvira.grau.creations MA Fashion Design

Jennifer Lynn Farmer @jenniferlynnfarmer BA Fashion Design

Nina Yuun @ninayuunofficial MA Fashion Design

Kerstin Nemeth @kerstin_nemeth MA Fashion Design

DOING FASHION GRADUATES 2026 AT KUNSTHAUS BASELLAND
SATURDAY, 28 MARCH, 6 P.M.

As in the previous year, we are presenting some of the graduates in a joint performance. The format is intended as a condensation of their individual work – not as a summary, but as a performative transfer into a collective situation.
