Beauty as a Courageous Choice on September 25

Beauty as a Courageous Choice at Homo Faber Conversations

As part of Homo Faber Conversations, Dries Van Noten, fashion designer and founder of Fondazione Dries Van Noten, joins journalist and moderator Manveen Rana to discuss why beauty is not a luxury but a human necessity that we should be fighting to preserve. Informed by what artisans have taught him about excellence and meaning, he shares his views on the transformative power of craftsmanship and the role of beauty in a standardised world. In these fragile and uncertain times, is choosing beauty a courageous act?​
