A costume made from a mushroom? A mask with the scent of lilac, or face paints as a water bear?

At Dutch Design Week we are hosting an open costume lab where we invite fashion designers, artists and you too, to make costumes of amazing species from our ecosystem. For a whole week there is room for experiment and design research to mimic various species in fabric and other materials.

Creating costumes in the Open Costume Lab - At Dutch Design Week 2021 we are hosting an open costume lab where participants are creating amazing costumes from species in our ego system, while hopefully becoming more aware of the biodiversity of our planet. Caroline Aravicius

Your design in the DIY-guide

Our ultimate goal is to "hack" the real carnival 2022 with as many biodiversity costumes as possible. We want to activate a big group of people to dress up as an 'inhuman species' during the festivities, and help to raise awareness for biodiversity of our planet.

To give this project a good kickstart, and to inspire more people we are creating a DIY-guide to Inhuman Carnaval. The craziest, most beautiful, original, outstanding and inspiring costumes and techniques that are created in the lab, are published in the guide. Maybe your design will make it to the guide too!
