About

Artist Bruce Asbestos uses artificial intelligence to create Bauhaus inspired fashion for a new exhibition at Leicester Gallery, De Montfort University,

The free exhibition showcases Asbestos’s signature blend of fashion, art, pop culture and technology. It displays the artist’s AI generated fashion designs for his Autumn Winter 2024 Collection, shown alongside a curated selection of films of his fashion catwalks exhibited as immersive, large-scale projections.

For his A/W 2024 Collection, Asbestos draws on his fascination with the Bauhaus movement. The Bauhaus – which began in 1919 as a school for arts and crafts – started a powerful movement that would alter the course of art history, influencing graphic design, architecture, interiors, and furniture design.

Using the Bauhaus core principles and archive black and white images as the foundation for his AI prompts Asbestos has transformed the designs into a real-life fashion catwalk. The resulting monochrome designs are a testament to the enduring impact of the Bauhaus ethos, reimagined for the digital age. Sleek lines, bold colours, and geometric forms merge with cutting-edge materials, 3D printing to create garments that are at once timeless and futuristic.
