Marco Fusinato's Dark Performance for Ann Demeulemeester's Spring-Summer 2025 Show in Paris
On September 28, 2024, at 49 boulevard du Vaugirard in Paris, Australian artist Marco Fusinato teamed up with Stefano Gallici, the new artistic director of Ann Demeulemeester, for the spring-summer 2025 runway presentation titled The Dialogue of Another Day. The event took place in a dimly lit concrete parking garage, where Fusinato delivered a haunting electric guitar performance before the models took to the runway, surrounded by flashing lights and white lilies. This collaboration was part of Paris Fashion Week, featuring various artistic partnerships. Born in Melbourne in 1964, Fusinato often seeks to challenge and disturb audiences, as demonstrated in his 2022 Venice Biennale piece, Desasters, creating a striking contrast between fashion's sophistication and his raw aesthetic.
