Look! Enthüllungen zu Kunst und Fashion

Herford (D) > 29.3. - 22.8.2021

Mode war schon immer ein raffiniertes Spiel zwischen gesellschaftlichen Normen und individuellem Ausdruckswillen. Aber welchen Stellenwert besitzt sie heute angesichts enormer Beschleunigung und globaler Produktionsstrukturen?Welchen Einfluss üben die sozialen Medien auf die Gestaltung der eigenen Identität aus? Und was sind die Materialien von morgen? Mit künstlerischen Beiträgen der letzten 20 Jahre entwirft diese Ausstellung ein lebhaftes Panorama aktueller Phänomene in der Fashionwelt. Drängende Fragen der Modeindustrie, Schlaglichter auf internationale Designer*innen ebenso wie Möglichkeiten der persönlichen Teilhabe eröffnen eine faszinierende Expedition in den gesellschaftlichen Alltag und machen Mode als schillernde Erzählung über unsere komplexe Gegenwart erlebbar.

The Roaring Twenties and The Swinging Sixties

Online > ab 15.03.2021

The Fashion Institute of Technology's School of Graduate Studies and The Museum at FIT (MFIT) present The Roaring Twenties and The Swinging Sixties, a virtual exhibition comparing the fashions of the twenties and sixties, both periods of significant crisis and change. Organized by students of FIT’s Master of Arts program, Fashion and Textile Studies: History, Theory, and Museum Practice, the show features twenty-six objects from the permanent collection of MFIT and fashion illustrations from FIT’s Gladys Marcus Library Special Collections and College Archives (SPARC). It is supplemented with archival photographs that further demonstrate the parallels between the fashion of the two decades. The process of creating an exhibition is a unique experience and a key feature of the Fashion and Textiles Studies graduate program at FIT. For the first time, this student-led project is presented solely online, with the class working together remotely.
The Twenties and the Sixties each brought about new ideas of the “modern woman” which impacted fashion in remarkably similar ways. These similarities are explored through six thematic sections: Twenties Nostalgia; Dreams and Discontent; Obsession with Youth; Music Mania; Cultural Appropriation; and Mode and Modernity. The shared spirit of the times, whether in art, music, technology, social movements and upheaval, or cultural inspiration, is highlighted by paired objects with discernible visual similarities.

Dressed for Success. Matthäus Schwarz. Ein Augsburger Modetagebuch des 16. Jahrhunderts

Augsburg (D) > 01.12.2020 – 13.06.2021

Im Jahr 1520, lange vor Instagram & Co, begann Matthäus Schwarz (1497-1574), ein junger Kaufmann aus Augsburg, ein ungewöhnliches Tagebuch anzulegen. Für die nächsten 40 Jahre seines Lebens ließ er sich in kostbaren, oft extravaganten Kleidungsstücken porträtieren, die er zu verschiedensten Gelegenheiten für sich fertigen ließ.

Dieses "klaidungsbuechlin" spiegelt anschaulich die Männermode des 16. Jahrhunderts wider. Matthäus Schwarz machte Karriere und wurde Hauptbuchhalter der Fugger, der berühmten Augsburger Unternehmer- und Bankerfamilie. Das »klaidungsbuechlin« präsentiert ihn in kleinen Miniaturen als selbst- und standesbewussten Kaufmann, dessen Modeentscheidungen eng mit seiner beruflichen und sozialen Karriere verbunden waren.

Nach 500 Jahren kehrt das Modetagebuch, heute im Besitz des Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museums in Braunschweig, mit der Ausstellung an den Ort seiner Entstehung zurück. Aus konservatorischen Gründen voraussichtlich das letzte Mal.

Mary Quant: Fashion Revolutionary

Bendingo (AUS) > 20.03. - 11.07.2021

Bendigo Art Gallery will present Mary Quant: Fashion Revolutionary, a retrospective exhibition on the iconic British fashion designer Dame Mary Quant. Quant personified the energy and fun of swinging London and was a powerful role model for the working woman. Challenging conventions, she popularised the miniskirt, colorful tights and tailored trousers – encouraging a new age of feminism. Quant’s experimental shop, Bazaar, opened on Chelsea’s King’s Road in 1955 and provided a showcase for her designs. Inspiring young women to rebel against the traditional styles worn by their mothers and grandmothers, Quant soon grew her tiny boutique into an international brand.

Fearless Fashion: Rudi Gernreich

Phoenix (USA) > 11.03.2021 - 26.09.2021

Fearless Fashion: Rudi Gernreich presents more than 80 gender-fluid, body-positive designs by a ’60s-mod legend who revolutionized perceptions of beauty, gender, and identity.
Through more than 80 ensembles and a collection of original sketches, letters, personal papers, photographs, press clippings, and newly filmed oral histories, Fearless Fashion: Rudi Gernreich explores the significant social and cultural impact of the work of Rudolph “Rudi” Gernreich (1922–1985), the acclaimed designer best known for innovative and body-positive creations such as the “monokini” topless swimsuit, the thong, unisex clothing, and pantsuits for women. Organized by the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, the major fashion exhibition provides a broader understanding of the late designer’s life and how his work continues to influence fashion trends and current notions of beauty, gender, and identity.

Voices of Fashion: Black couture, beauty & styles

Utrecht (NL) > 13.02. - 24.05.2021

Co-curator and Diversity Rules-founder Janice Deul: “Black people are often said to be the Curators of Cool, but this isn’t always recognized or acknowledged where it matters. This lack of recognition has all to do with power and history. And that’s why I’m so excited about this show. It's a celebration of black beauty, talent and culture that we hope will provide food for thought and give models and designers the credit they deserve.”
A major new fashion exhibition entitled Voices of Fashion. Black Couture, Beauty and Styles. is set to open at the Centraal Museum. The show will be the first ever staged by an art museum in the Netherlands to query the white gaze as the default vantage point from which to present, wear and collect fashion. Underpinning the exhibition are years of research by black, brown and white people that show that the fashion world and our relationship with it continue to be shaped by the legacies of European colonialism. Voices of Fashion takes you on a little told story of fashion, with a stunning exhibition design by Afaina de Jong of AFARAI.
