The workshop Adaptation gets its members acquainted with the works of contemporary fashion designers and the occasional subcultural style and is devoted to encouraging a personal sign system, all through the presentation of various styles of dress and contemporary fashion in practice.
Prior to the workshop come talks with the members about their personal style of dress, if it exists at all, their views about dressing and fashion from the point of view of old age and all the physical constraints in dress with which they meet and the ways in which through fashion they can resist age.
Those attending the workshop make, redesign and remodel items of dress from their own wardrobes with a change of cut, material or intervention into one or the other. Changes of silhouette might be possible, and also the making of an assemblage through a combination of items of apparel.
