Full Circle with THREE ASFOUR

For more than 25 years, the designers behind the avant-garde fashion collective threeASFOUR— Gabi Asfour (Lebanese-Palestinian), Angela Donhauser (German-Tajikistani), and Adi Gil (Israeli) — have created clothing with uncompromising vision. Drawing inspiration from natural forms and pioneering techniques, they have continually pushed the boundaries of what fashion can be, earning them a cult following, global museum exhibitions, and fans like Björk and Chloë Sevigny.

Yet behind the acclaim lies an ongoing challenge to survive in an industry driven by commerce. The film threeASFOUR: Full Circle (directed by Sean Ono Lennon, co-directed by Brian Gonzalez, edited by Jenny Golden, and produced by Academy Award-nominated Beth Levison) is a fantastic New York story—an intimate documentary that follows Gabi, Ange, and Adi as they navigate the tension between creative independence and financial viability. It opens at New York's Film Forum on November 13.

Please join the designers in the West Room for a vital conversation about their creative process, their sources of inspiration, and the enduring relevance of the Lower East Side.

threeASFOUR were recipients of the Cooper-Hewitt/Smithsonian Museum’s National Design Award in 2015. Their designs are permanently housed in London’s V&A Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York.
