As part of an upcoming collaboration betweeen the Norwegian graphic design union Grafill and International Library of Fashion Research we are excited to welcome long-term collaborators and co-founders of the globally renowned type foundry Dinamo, Johannes Breyer and Fabian Harb, for a Guest Salon on Tuesday 5th of March, from 18:00 to 20:00.


Johannes and Fabian will talk about their variable way of working, collaborating, and thinking. What are the parallells between typemaking and fashion? How have in-house tools have become a method for exploring new and old aesthetics, economic models, and potentials in typeface design? What are the structures, joys, and troubles that are part of running an independent label? How do one manage expectations, people, font updates, and tax returns? Please join the ride.


This is the sixth edition of Guest Salons; an active meeting point for free conversations around and beyond fashion, once a month at International Library of Fashion Research.
