INSTITUTION BY GALIB GASSANOFF: Wearable Sculptures for S/S 27 | Copenhagen Fashion Week

See how traditional craft meets modern design in the spring/summer 2027 show of Institution by Galib Gassanoff on FashionTV!

Established by Galib Gassanoff as a deeply personal exploration of aesthetic belonging and cultural heritage, Institution operates as a social-artistic organization with an ethical foundation that extends far beyond traditional fashion.

The project’s name reflects its underlying purpose: an institution as a humanly devised structure of rules and norms that shapes individual behavior, built upon persistence and continuity.

For its debut S/S 2027 collection presented during Copenhagen Fashion Week, Institution transformed its venue into an intimate art gallery space, where garments were presented on walls like fine artworks to highlight their intricate construction and craftsmanship.

With most pieces cut and tailored by Gassanoff himself, each garment is conceived as a collectible, exhibitable object. Sourced exclusively from the deadstock of high-end producers, the collection utilizes natural silk, cotton, wool, and leather to ensure strict limited availability.

Rooted in preservation, the debut highlights a signature hand-weaving technique from Galib’s Azerbaijani community in Georgia – thoughtfully replacing traditional wool threads with cotton shoelaces to safeguard a fading heritage craft.
