Lara Torres

I hold a Doctorate from the University of Arts London at the London College of Fashion, with the thesis ‘Towards a practice of unmaking. The essay film as a critical discourse for fashion in the expanded field’. My research sits at the intersection of fashion, fine arts, and film practise and theory, exploring notions of an expanded field of fashion, critical fashion and fashion film practices in the twenty-first century. My work has been featured in international exhibitions including The future of fashion is now (2014/15) in the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam curated by José Teunissen, touring to the OCT Art & design gallery in Shenzhen and the OCAT Contemporary Art terminal Shanghai in China (2015/16); ‘Why-what-who: 10 years of fashion artefacts’ at the Venice Biennale (2018) and ’State of Fashion' in Arnhem (July 2018). I have been part of the 'transfahional' project curated by Dobrila Denegri since 2016 with exhibitions in London, Warsaw, Vienna, Kalmar and Rimini. In
