Nobel Creations 2023
NOBEL CREATIONS 2023
For the twelfth consecutive year, first-year students from the Fashion programme at Beckmans College of Design have interpreted the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine or Physiology, Literature and Peace, and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Science in Memory of Alfred Nobel. In their Nobel creations, they explore what Nobel Laureates, artists and designers have in common: the courage to challenge established methods and theories, to think outside the box, and to fuse different kinds of knowledge into new statements. The creations also give a new take on gala attire and how special occasions, celebrations and dignity can be expressed in the medium of fashion design.
”The photographs aim to maintain the playfulness of the creations and, at the same time, elevate them to iconic images. Lighting and camera angles, combined with the dresses and the direction of models, expresses their curious and delicate personalities.”
– John Scarisbrick, Photographer
The finished Nobel Creations can be seen at:
The Nobel Prize Museum, 5 december 2023 – 31 may 2024.
