Dino Puljic Paris presents an exhibition of archival works at the Cultural Center of Serbia in Paris during Paris Fashion Week, bringing together pieces from multiple collections that explore the relationship between the body, technology, and civilization. At the center of the exhibition is “Brain Surgery”, a collection developed through ten months of research into the parallels between ancient civilizations and contemporary society.
The collection questions conventional understandings of progress, considering whether earlier civilizations may have achieved levels of knowledge that remain only partially understood today. Rather than offering definitive answers, Puljic translates this inquiry into garments and sculptural objects conceived as artifacts, carrying traces of a past that remains uncertain and a future yet to be realized. Technology becomes a means of examining contemporary society, challenging the assumption that advancement necessarily represents progress.
This investigative approach reflects the broader philosophy of Dino Puljic Paris, where clothing is treated as a record of transformation rather than decoration. Drawing on his early interest in medicine and the sciences, Puljic approaches fashion as a form of material inquiry, bringing together anatomy, architecture, and precise craftsmanship. His silhouettes explore the body as a structure in transition, moving between functional garments and autonomous sculptural forms.
The exhibition also traces the development of a conceptual world documented through six archaic Tablets that precede the garments and extend beyond individual collections. Within this framework, each piece becomes part of a larger narrative, questioning established relationships between the body, its surroundings, and the technologies that shape human experience.
The presentation coincides with “Arrival”, the designer’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, marking the continued evolution of his practice. Together, the archival works and new collection establish a dialogue between ready-to-wear and sculptural object, positioning fashion as a means of investigating civilization, technological development, and the possibilities of transformation.
