The ‘RRRIPP!! Paper Fashion’ exhibition looks into the use of paper as a material for garment manufacture, an unknown aspect of sartorial culture. A very unique and special publication/catalogue accompanies the first Paper Fashion exhibition at the Benaki Museum, Athens. This is a book in process, making openings to various parties, leaving open working hypotheses through the specialists’ texts, which depict various aspects of research into the history of the relationship of paper to garments. The book simultaneously places particular emphasis on the ephemeral, fragile, humble and poetic nature of paper garments, juxtaposing modern creations with paper garments from different cultures and civilisations.
