Activewear

The exhibition illustrates the relationship between sports and fashion and shows how sportswear has become an important part of both the daily wardrobe and the (luxury) fashion industry over the years. The exhibition follows a thematic route that starts in the nineteenth century and ends in a real sneaker corner that reveals special and exclusive collaborations. Former top athletes and fashion entrepreneurs Elodie Ouédraogo and Olivia Borlée are guest curators for this exhibition.

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.

Drachen aus goldenen Fäden – Textilien aus der Sammlung des Deutschen Textilmuseums Krefeld

Krefeld (D) > 01.11.2020 - 02.05.2021; erneute Eröffnung 01.06.2021-30.12.2021

Die neue Ausstellung des Deutschen Textilmuseums präsentiert ab 1. November 2020 circa 120 chinesische Textilien aus eigenem Bestand, die dank der Schwerpunktförderung der Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung Krefeld erstmals wissenschaftlich bearbeitet wurden, in einem umfangreichen Katalog publiziert sowie der Öffentlichkeit gezeigt werden können. Der Entstehungszeitraum der Textilien und Gewänder reicht von der Yuan-Dynastie (1279–1368) bis zur Volksrepublik China (seit 1949). Neben Fragmenten bilden zahlreiche Kleidungsstücke der Mandschuren sowohl für Frauen als auch für Männer sowie Gewänder für Han-chinesische Frauen einen Schwerpunkt der Schau. Als besondere Objekte sind Fragmente eines kaiserlichen Gewands aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, ein Gewand mit Drachenmedaillons für eine adlige Dame in Schlitzwirkerei, zwei übergroße Gewänder für Götterstatuen, ein imperiales Totentuch, ein großes Fragment von einem Palastteppich aus Seidensamt sowie ein sogenannter Mao-Anzug der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zu nennen.

Die Vielfältigkeit der verschiedenen textilen Techniken (Weberei, Schlitzwirkerei, Stickerei) wird anschaulich präsentiert und in einem reich bebilderten, von Walter Bruno Brix verfassten Katalog ausführlich erläutert.

British – ever so Nordic

Stockholm (S) > 05.02.2019 - 31.12.2021

Nordiska Museet in Stockholm shows how Nordic fashion, clothes styles and lifestyle are influenced by Britain’s creative industry. The narrative runs from the Middle Ages to the present day, illustrated through fabrics, patterns, clothes and phenomena that have been shaped into a part of everyday life in Scandinavia. British: Ever So Nordic.
Cardigan, jumper and trench coat. Tartans and Doc Martens boots. Flowery wallpaper, pajamas and a cup of tea. Football, tennis and a stroll in the woods wearing wellingtons. These are such commonplace elements of our everyday life that we may not reflect on where they come from. With Brexit around the corner, Nordiska museet in Stockholm shows how centuries of trade relations with Britain have affected Nordic fashions and lifestyle. There are numerous points of contact between Sweden and Britain, and in many ways there is a shared outlook.
