Fashion Moda (Group)

Founded in 1978 by Stefan Eins, Fashion Moda quickly became an important voice in the art world during the late 70's to mid-80's. Defining itself as a concept and its South Bronx location as Museum of Science, Art, Invention, Technology, and Fantasy. Fashion Moda crossed boundaries, and mixed metaphors, which helped to redefine the function of art in a postmodernist society. Featuring such artists as Keith Haring, David Wojnarowicz, Jenny Holzer, Mark Kostabi, Joe Lewis, John Ahearn, Kenny Scharf, Amy Chaiklin, and graffiti artists like Richard Hambleton, Koor, Crash, Daze, Spank and many others, Fashion Moda was a major force in establishing new venues. Its South Bronx location allowed Fashion Moda the freedom to explore the question "What is art?" and "Who defines it?"
