When Tisci suggested working together, Abramović asked if fashion really takes inspiration from art. He agreed, and she said, “I am art because I use my body, so you will suck my t**.” It was a difficult act, but one she felt made a strong statement in fashion.

Abramović’s career includes extreme performances like ‘Rhythm 0’ in 1974, where she let the audience use objects on her body, accepting all consequences. The event was risky, with some people even threatening her life.
