eyes&ah is an Austrian independent fashion and art platform that has given in its peak seasons 2019 and 2020 creatives the opportunity to participate in workshops, exhibitions, and events. The platform was initially founded by Carolin Berger and me. We had the idea to connect national and international textile artists in the touristic town Millstatt am See in Carinthia, Austria.

In summer 2019 we curated the exhibition program “Work in Progress” in collaboration with 30 artists and designers having their showrooms at various spaces in the town. Additionally, we were organized a fashion event; styled Anna Gasser, the world master in snowboarding, and Eva Gasser the Austrian master in gymnastics; we designed the interior decoration of the renowned Pulcinella Ball in the castle Porcia in Spittal and created a workshop program with several professionals.

In summer 2020 we continued our workshop ideas. Carolin took over the main responsibility for the platform, while I concentrated on facilitating textile art workshops for children and teenagers. Furthermore, we expanded our program to Innsbruck to collaborate with ZAMMNAHN, an initiative for sewing at all levels under the direction of designer Sigrid Wenter, where we held a Kimono sewing workshops.

eyes&ah discontinued its collaboration in the original format in 2021.
