Apparatus 22 is an art and fashion collective based in Bucharest, Romania, that was initiated in spring 2011 after a thorough reconfiguration process of the cutting-edge fashion label Rozalb de Mura (2006 - early 2011). Olah Gyarfas is a permanent guest of the collective. The group explore the crossovers between art, design and fashion, focusing on themes such as the critical potential of clothing and fashion, storytelling, blurring the lines between genders, mixing fiction with reality.
The Glasgow School of Art is one of Europe's leading higher education institutions for creative education and research. It is organised into three schools - Fine Art, Design and Architecture. GSA's distinctive, specialist practice-based education and exhibitions programme are internationally recognized.
