demo station: Trama Plaza – IN STYLE BY 1948

Trama Plaza presents IN STYLE BY 1948.

On the occasion of April 25, the exhibition ALLA MODA DAL 1948 returns, a project that originated in Milan in 2024 from the work Since 1948 by Irene Labella. By embroidering Articles 4 and 36 of the Italian Constitution—dedicated to labor—onto an old Montedison work jacket, the designer inspired Trama Plaza to initiate a path that brings together fashion, art, and rights.
The exhibition presents seven work uniforms from exemplary Made in Italy companies, reinterpreted by sustainable fashion designers through an upcycling contest, as a manifesto for social sustainability and for the enhancement of the textile supply chain.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
