Fashion Talks - exhibition in Berlin opening in October

I am rather fascinated that there will be an exhibition in the Berlin Museum for Communication with a similar name as our Fashion Talk project: Fashion Talks. This is the announcement:

Fashion is all around us. We can play with fashion, follow fashion or rebel against it. Fashion is for both standing out in a crowd and belonging. It is fast, sometimes loud or subdued, and rushes to and fro between ‘in’ and ‘out’. This show looks at how we deal with fashion individually and as a group and at the messages we convey with the way we dress. What style codes dominate today’s youth culture? What identities are behind them? How do manufacturers serve their target groups and thus influence the market? Everyday pieces of clothing, such as jeans, are on display to show not only that subtle changes in cuts, patterns and finishings change dress codes, but also how the complex and intricate system of fashion works.

Fashion Talks will start October 7th, 2011.

We should cooperate - in a work shop? A competition? An action? Ideas are more thn welcome!
