Aziz

In the course of his career Aziz Bekkaoui has developed a powerful signature in his fashion and in his art. Typical is his love for innovation, fluid shapes and movement. Nothing is what it seems and nothing stays the same. Aziz Bekkaoui is averse to fixed rules, codes and sectarianism. He is the designer of  dance, the choreographer of fashion. Art forms merge, borders are erased. Aziz Bekkaoui also stands by his view: art is not neutral. He does not shy away to take a stand and to work with a vision to bear. Fashion without soul is just textiles. Form without content does not exist for Aziz Bekkaoui. Through his performance art, he dresses the spirit.

Opening

Aziz Bekkaoui will open the show at 13 December at 17.30. Doors open at 17.00.
