Since 2003, BOLM: The Label Project has been touring the world. People met fortuitously in public spaces are invited to donate their clothing labels, which will be sewn onto an overly branded straitjacket for fashion victims. Participants are welcomed to try on the “brand-suit” in order to feel the pressure and constraints of a self-image centric and manipulative society.
