There are moments when fashion moves beyond the body and into space. RE:BORN is a new collaboration between Cultivated and Romance Was Born, created for Melbourne Design Week. An immersive exhibition where furniture, fashion and art come together in a richly layered environment shaped by transformation, texture and imagination. Objects once overlooked are reworked into something expressive and unexpected. Forms are reimagined. Histories are honoured. What already exists is seen in a completely new light. A visceral encounter with beauty, reimagined.

RE:BORN weaves fashion, art and design into a richly layered tapestry of surprise and delight. Romance Was Born bring their signature imaginative vision and bespoke textile artistry to reimagine iconic furniture designs from the Cultivated portfolio, each piece second-hand, each one restored and elevated into an expressive new form.
