The Vestoj Salon On Slowness

In the Vestoj Salon on Slowness, the symbolic weight of clothes, of dressing and undressing, is explored through an emblematic return to the Ancien Régime. In the erstwhile apartment of the once celebrated collector Charles de Besteigui, an elaborate ceremony unfolds on stage. A small group of performers have formed a tableaux vivant on a stage that juxtaposes ersatz Ancien Régime décor with set designer David Myron's contemporary response. Here each element fulfills their role in making the protocol of dressing and getting dressed an act of the highest symbolic importance.

Anja Aronowsky Cronberg launched Vestoj - the Journal of Sartorial Matters in 2009. Vestoj is published under the patronage of the London College of Fashion.
