This exhibition is co-created by Year One students (2021/22) from the department of Fashion and Textile in The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) after attending a series of lectures examining the historical study of Fashion & Textile design from constructivistic perspectives.
This exhibition showcases a spectrum of practice-based research, ranging from imagined narratives from the past; to observations on the global cultural impact of (digital) fashion and music; to attempts in addressing gaps of knowledge and imbalances in the eco-system of fashion & textile in the past, present & future.
In order to preserve the ephemeral nature of students' explorations in art & design education setting and in the spirit of Arturo Escobar's vision on the Pluriverse, students are given the freedom to propose their topic of choice and to deepen their knowledge as independently as possible. Guidance was given only when sought. In line with retaining the integrity of students' works, no interventions were made to student' contributions in this exhibition.

1840- the production of patterned
laces developed, which could
imitate perfectly the handmade
ones
lace has decorative purpose and it
s an intereorking of free threads-
therefore forming holes
handmade lace types: 1. needle
lace - is made with single thread
and one needle
2. bobbin lace- is made by
manipulating multiple threads,
wound on bobbins
Machine made laces emerged
during the Industrial Revolution,
end of 18th century
• The first machine made
consisted of a machine produced
net, made out of one continuous
thread, where the pattern was
applied by hand

For me the most interesting part of maltese lace is the craft and how it’s implemented now, even though they are used such old techniques. It’s one of Malta’s oldest traditions. During the 1600s, it was the fashion for noblemen and the clergy to wear clothing decorated with handcrafted bobbin lace. Maltese women and children learned the art of lace making so that they could sell their crafts to raise money for their families, and lacemaking was even taught in one orphanage in Gozo to help raise funds and boost popularity of lace products. So basically this was the centre were lace making was born and then had influenced a lot of cultures like: Arabic, British, French, Italian, Spanish.

I didn't really look into the history of maltese lace before, but now i found out there is a lot more to it and i can use lace in my work in a more contemporary way. This has been really useful in opening my vision about lace in general and what techniques have been used for centuries.
