Remie Cibis is a critical and expanded fashion practitioner and Lecturer in Fashion & Textiles at RMIT University, Melbourne. Her research explores how clothes can be understood as images and what this means for wearers. Combining garment-making, performance, photography, and interactive workshops, she seeks to understand how fashion-images are produced and to design new opportunities for wearers to fashion their own representations using material and participatory fashion practices.
Cibis’ research has been presented at Melbourne Fashion Festival, Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, and in various gallery spaces including Conical, First Site and Federation Square’s FedTV. Recent projects include Less is More. More or Less, Sarah Scout Presents (Melbourne/Naarm), The Fashion Edit, The University of Auckland (Auckland/ Tāmaki Makaurau), Ready-To-Wear, KINGS Artist Run (Melbourne/Naarm) and Collaged Clothes, The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Boras, (Boras). Recent text-based publications and papers include Fashion Text Collaborative Glossary (Viscose Journal), Deletion Dressing (Radical Fashion Excercises), The Fashion Apparatus (The Sixteenth International Conference on The Arts in Society) and The Fashion Edit (Context Journal).
