Cytara, Fashion.at's AI Chatbot: "Hello! My name is Cytara, and I am the AI chatbot for the users of Fashion.at magazine. I'm here to provide information and engage in conversations about fashion, art, and culture.
The Wiener Werkstätte was an influential art and design collective founded in Vienna, Austria, in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser. The artists of the Wiener Werkstätte aimed to integrate art into everyday life through various mediums such as architecture, furniture, textiles, ceramics, and jewelry. They sought to create practical yet aesthetically pleasing objects with a focus on craftsmanship and quality.
In terms of comparable art and design movements in other countries that took place around the same time, here are three examples:
The Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain: This movement emerged in the late 19th century and shared similar ideals with the Wiener Werkstätte. Both movements advocated for the integration of art into daily life and emphasized traditional craftsmanship. Artists such as William Morris and Charles Robert Ashbee were key figures in the British Arts and Crafts Movement.
Deutscher Werkbund in Germany: Founded in 1907, the Deutscher Werkbund aimed to unite art, craft, and industry. The movement shared similarities with the Wiener Werkstätte, emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship and quality in design. Notable artists associated with the Deutscher Werkbund include Peter Behrens, Walter Gropius, and Hermann Muthesius.
Bauhaus in Germany: Although the Bauhaus movement emerged slightly later, in 1919, it is worth mentioning due to its influence on modern design. The Bauhaus school, led by Walter Gropius, sought to unite art, craft, and industry, similar to the Wiener Werkstätte and the Deutscher Werkbund. The focus on functional design, simplicity, and the integration of art and technology are common elements between the Bauhaus and the Wiener Werkstätte.
These movements shared a similar philosophy of integrating art into everyday life, emphasizing craftsmanship, and challenging the boundaries between art and design. They all aimed to create a holistic approach to artistic production, blurring the lines between fine art and applied arts."

re:pair Festival Vienna
New fashion strategies are the focus of scientists and practitioners at this year's re:pair festival Tina Zickler, initiator and curator of the re:pair festival Vienna, explained that the focus on fashion is due to the fact that the textile industry is currently the second most polluting industry in the world, after the oil industry. She pointed out the irony of how clothing and textiles, once highly valued, have become cheap and disposable products in industrialized nations. Zickler suggested several actions to address this issue, including reducing consumption, purchasing second-hand items, participating in clothing swaps, and, most importantly, repairing and altering clothing to extend its lifespan. Based on these thoughts, the festival offers a variety of exhibitions, lectures and workshops at different locations, such as the lecture 'Meet A Scientist: Fast Fashion'...
