Elements | Scary Clothes from Jerusalem
Thursday, 11.07.24 | 21:00 | Performance at Marie Gallery
On the stair of Marie gallery, and with a soundtrack that will be played live by a veteran Jerusalem street musician, a performative fashion show by the designer Yishai Leissner will be held, departing from outside the gallery towards the staircase and gathering at the inner courtyard. The models will be dressed in clothes designed by Leissner as they walk the runway, though they will reach its end dressed as a different character, which characterizes the city of Jerusalem. Leissner, who designs a clothing line named “Scary Clothes from Jerusalem”, was born and raised in the city and deals with the space of Jerusalem through the clothes he creates, from the maximal use of the fabrics he finds and collects, through the box-like figures which evoke ancient and almost biblical imagery, to the places in which they are presented – iconic urban spaces in Jerusalem. The choice of creating in Jerusalem, and the faith in its creative power, stand at the basis of the performance.
