From Triple Major:

“Triple-Major is a creative studio aiming to reinvent fashion standards. The concept store supports avant-garde designers from around the world, ranging from established international talents such as Fabrics Interseason, Patrik Ervell, Pelican Avenue, to experimental designers Anntian, Daniel Palillo, Mundi and Rozalb de Mura, to bring an alternative selection to Beijing’s commercialized fashion scene. ffiXXed’s collection is also sold exclusively through Tripe-Major in China. Seeing the avant-garde designs as antidotes to commercial fashion’s erosion of individuality, the store is disguised as a traditional Chinese clinic. The second floor and rooftop of the store are dedicated to exhibitions in collaboration with global artists and designers, offering a bridge to overcome the boundary between art and fashion.”

Triple-Major is at 81 Baochao Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing.

为了呼应Triple-Major概念店本身的多功能用途(服装店/办公室/画廊/咖啡馆),在此展览中,ffiXXed将透过自己的用品,影像和产品来重新硕造一个个人,社会和消费者活动在同时进行的假定空间。如展览标题所述,展览作品将是ffiXXed对不断变更的全球消费年代和个人与公众物体及空间的不断转换所作的回响。组合将融合室内设计,建筑,时装和各类不同的私人及搜寻所得的物件,来探索空间,地方和占有它们的物件的一种往往是非常含糊的关系。

Triple-Major 是一家致力重新思考及挑战时装规范的创意机构。其概念店的部分服装来自知名和创新的设计师如奥地利的Fabrics Interseason,美国的Patrik Ervell,比利时的Pelican Avenue等;同时也支持不少实验性和概念性的新进设计师,如德国的Anntian, 芬兰的Daniel Palillo和冰岛的Mundi等。ffiXXed的系列在国内目前也只有在Triple-Major销售。选择这些设计师的目的,是希望给渐趋商业化的中国时装界带来一些走在创意最前线并且独立的设计。 有感于这些锐意原创的设计就像是一种精神良药,能调理被主流设计所侵蚀的创意和个人风格,概念店伪装成一间传统中药店. 概念店的二层和天台将用作展览和装置艺术的空间。Triple-Major希望透过与不同艺术家和设计师的合作来穿越时装和艺术的界限。

Triple-Major概念店位于北京东城区宝钞胡同81号。开幕将于10月29日晚上8点到10点举行。ffiXXed的展览也会同时开幕,并展览至11月12日。”
