Who decides what is “beautiful”, or who has the right to be represented? This tour challenges us to look beyond the frames and haute couture, and to discover how the clothes we wear can become a personal manifesto.

From garments that liberated the female body, to the global voices of haute couture and the inclusion of disability in design, we will explore how fashion can be a tool for revolution.

It is a journey through stories of identities that have broken barriers, celebrating the diversity of bodies and experiences.

In the end, the question is for you: how does your image tell your story?

Duration: 60 min. Participants: 10 – 25 Language: Portuguese / English
