MOBILE PROJECTS

Celebrating the ability to move freely and easily, Mobile Projects represent NOT’s cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaborations.

 

SPECTACLE

An interdisciplinary performance in May 2026 combining fashion, chamber music, and live dialogue at Tonhain in Berlin, Germany. Inspired by the history of the suffragettes, musicians changed into original garments designed for this concert between each piece on the program, while performing music by pioneering female composers.

UNPLANNED PATHS EXHIBITION

 

Celebrating eight years of collaboration between designer Jenny Lai and photographer Andrew Boyle, this virtual exhibition presented select photographs, motion collages, as well as new works created specifically for this virtual venue. Unplanned Paths was produced by the gallery, The Chockablock in Decentraland. Enjoy a tour of the exhibition:

OUTSIDE IN 

 

"Outside In" was a puppet theater piece presented at St Ann's Warehouse (Brooklyn, NY) for their annual new puppet theater festival in February 2022. Designer Jenny Lai conceived "Outside In" as three vignettes of what it means to be present, to be aware of presence, and to measure presence. Chameleon-like garments find their way in a delightfully absurd world, performed by contemporary mime actors. Discover the project here. 

 

NOT x ANDREW BOYLE | Quarantine Edition

 

The following stop-motions were created between NOT designer Jenny Lai and photographer Andrew Boyle remotely with experimental techniques during the Spring 2019 Covid-19 lockdown. Sound design was also created remotely by Germany-based Métaphore Sonore.

 

 

VIV, a NOT fashion animation

 

From crunchy beginnings in paper - to rough mock ups that tear off and float away - to a final fantastical dance, this 3d animated film takes you through the birth of a garment as an amorphous living organism. As the lights go on, the performance begins - a proper setting for our brand which views dressing as an everyday performance.

Animations by Luke Parker, direction by Joyce Chen, and original music by percussionist Mike Truesdell.

 

NOT x ANDREW BOYLE

 

NOT's menswear collection references the protective qualities of judo attire and rubber gloves to create a supernatural second skin. Two original prints, made in collaboration with artist Margaret Sampson, were created from magnified scans of nitrile coated rubber gloves found in hardware stores. Expanding on the concept, photographer Andrew Boyle created a series of animations and a printed zine featuring photography and hand-cut collage featuring model Anthony Lyons. 

 

 

 

NOT SS18 CAMPAIGN

Inspired by Alex Katz' painting 'The Roof', this campaign by photographer Ina Jang and art director Shiori Miyashita for NOT captures opposing perspectives of distinct movements, with movement direction by César Brodermann in collaboration with Leal Zielińska.

 

NOT X CHRIS SAUNDERS

 

NOT x Chris Saunders is a cross-cultural research, fashion, and photography project that took place in South Africa in January 2014. Jenny Lai's collaboration with South African photographer Chris Saunders and performance artist Manthe Ribane culminated in exhibitions at the Museum of African Design (Johannesburg), Design Indaba (Capetown), and Wallplay Gallery (New York).
