Go As You Please – Ann-Sofie Back 1998–2018

Stockholm (S) > 08.11.2024 - 28.02.2025

Ann-Sofie Back has been called Sweden's most influential clothing designer, known for her subversive and thought-provoking fashion, often inspired by clichés about femininity, shame and failed glamor. Now, she is showcasing her collections from her entire fashion career with Go As You Please - Ann-Sofie Back 1998-2018, an exhibition that will fill Liljevalchs+ in the fall of 2024. Ann-Sofie Back graduated from Central St Martin's in 1998. Since then she has made collections under her own name until 2018. Her collections have been shown at London and Paris Fashion Weeks and sold in stores worldwide. Ann-Sofie Back's design archive has been kept almost completely intact since she started designing in 1998. Everything is saved and now takes place in Liljevalchs + as a form of prospective-retrospective for the long and acclaimed career in the fashion world. Ann-Sofie Back's work has been inspired by stereotypes of beauty, taste, femininity, social phenomena and fashion that create a tool for status, that is, the transformative properties of fashion. Her work has been shown in prominent museums and galleries around the world. The exhibition is accompanied by a book covering Ann-Sofie Back's entire career, including sketches, catwalk images, campaigns, press clippings and show invitations. It also includes various styling assignments by Ann-Sofie Back for Self Service, Purple and Dazed, among others. The catalog also includes texts from interviews and articles.

SHAPE - body, fashion, identity

Tilburg (NL) > 16.11.2024 - 30.03.2025

Enter the breathtaking world of SHAPE! In this fashion exhibition, you will wander past surreal, futuristic and seductive looks inspired by the human body, and question ideals of beauty. Through these designs, explore the malleability of the body and the creation of identity through textiles and fashion. A lot has changed in a short time. Online, we are not only continuously shown the ideal beauty image, we can also create it ourselves with avatars, filters or AI. Medical and cosmetic procedures are increasingly accessible. The conversation about cultural identity, sexuality and gender roles is more open but is also met with fierce resistance. How does all this affect our self-image? And how hybrid is the human body? In SHAPE, we present conceptual, sculptural fashion and body-related art through which the designer addresses the malleability of the body. The exhibition combines well-known fashion designs, such as those by Iris van Herpen or the puffer coat worn by TV character Carrie Bradshaw, as well as digital fashion and intriguing installations created especially for this exhibition in the TextielLab.

Maskerade, Make-up & Ensor

Antwerpen (BE) > 28.09.2024 - 02.02.2025

In MoMu’s autumn exhibition, Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor, James Ensor’s ideas about masquerade, (false) coquetry, seduction, deception and the transient are brought up to the present day. MoMu celebrates the painters of fashion: the craftsmanship and inexhaustible creativity of make-up and hair artists, in a multimedia exhibition in which light, colour, art, fashion and make-up come together. Down through history, make-up has often been viewed with suspicion and compared to the wearing of a mask: a mask to hide one’s true face. James Ensor was a critical observer of the world and the people around him. He recognized their insecurities and insincere coquetry. From 1888, Ensor used masks, clothing and accessories as ambiguous instruments for unmasking: a way of revealing the true nature and deeper feelings of his masked figures. The work of James Ensor leads to universal questions: Why do we wear masks? Why are people so afraid of visible aging? How do we deal with ideals of beauty that are always changing and are impossible to achieve? Today, make-up and beauty have exploded into a trillion-dollar industry that perpetually confronts humans with their bodily impermanence, imagined imperfections and existential fears. However, like paint, make-up is also a medium for personal expression, artistic experimentation, joy and freedom. Masquerade, Make-up & Ensor investigates how closely intertwined make-up is with so many aspects of our being human. MoMu has joined forces with iconic art, beauty and culture platform Beauty Papers to curate the works of leading contemporary make-up artists and photographers in three new video installations exploring the key themes of Ensor’s work through the lens of beauty today. With work by James Ensor, Issy Wood, Cindy Sherman, Tschabalala Self, Genieve Figgis, Harley Weir, Julien d’Ys, Inge Grognard, Peter Philips, Martin Margiela, Christian Lacroix, Walter Van Beirendonck, Cyndia Harvey, Thomas de Kluyver, Lucy Bridge, Eugene Souleiman, Éamonn Freel, Bruce Gilden and many more.

Our Colonial Inheritance

Amsterdam (NL) > Dauerausstellung

Colonialism is not a thing of the past. It has shaped the world: our physical, mental and personal world. Colonialism lives on to this day. In the exhibition 'Our Colonial Inheritance', we look at the Dutch colonial history and presence, in Indonesia, Suriname, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and many other countries. You will not get to see and hear the 'known' history, there is more to see and learn. The exhibition shows how colonialism shaped the world of today, and how people endured colonialism. Learn how people tried to create their own lives, rebelled and remained in charge. Are you open to a multivoiced perspective?

Les dessous chics ou la mode intime (1919-1939)

Paris (F) > 04.11.2024 - 28.02.2025

Parure intime et discrète, la lingerie suit les tendances de la mode et participe à la libération du corps féminin. De l’abandon du corset à l’apparition de la gaine, l’invention du soutien-gorge et du bas qui souligne la jambe, la lingerie est affaire de mode. Elle est le premier habit dont on se vêt, celui que l’on dissimule ou qu’on laisse entrevoir, et qui, en toute intimité, met en valeur la silhouette. Catalogues de marques, revues spécialisées, publicités, et même reportages photographiques des vitrines de lingerie : à travers ces documents, les dessous de la mode s’exposent à la bibliothèque.

La mode en modèles. Photographies des années 1920-1930

Paris (F) > 06.11.2024 - 26.01.2025

L’exposition « La mode en modèles » présentée du 6 novembre 2024 au 26 février 2025, met en lumière une sélection de la collection de dépôts de modèle conservée par le musée. Plus de cent photographies, dessins, films et robes de haute couture permettent de dresser un panorama de la création de mode parisienne des années folles, de 1917 à 1939. Ces clichés, souvent méconnus mais essentiels à la protection juridique des maisons de couture, offrent une vision détaillée des œuvres des grands couturiers, des Sœurs Callot à Jeanne Paquin, de Jeanne Lanvin à Elsa Schiaparelli, en passant par Madeleine Vionnet et Jean Patou. Ils permettent ainsi de suivre l’évolution de l’innovation et de l’esthétique de la mode de cette période emblématique.

Mode, nouvelles générations: 35 ans de l’ANDAM

Paris (F) > 01.10.2024 - 30.03.2025

Le musée des Arts décoratifs célèbre du 1er octobre 2024 au 30 mars 2025, le 35e anniversaire de l’ANDAM (Association nationale pour le développement des arts de la mode) à travers une sélection de 17 silhouettes de mode, témoignant du regard visionnaire qu’il porte sur la jeune création. Le musée des Arts décoratifs abrite en effet la collection nationale de mode et textile, l’une des plus importantes au monde, couvrant une période allant du xviiie siècle à nos jours. Depuis 1989, l’ANDAM récompense chaque année les créateurs émergents de la scène française et internationale et leur donne, à travers son concours et son programme d’accompagnement global, les moyens de s’implanter durablement dans le paysage de la mode. La collaboration entre le musée des Arts décoratifs et l’ANDAM vise à valoriser ces nouveaux acteurs de la mode. Les lauréats sont invités à offrir des pièces emblématiques de leur collection primée chaque année, qui viendront ainsi enrichir les archives de la mode contemporaine du musée. À travers des thèmes tels que l’art du tailleur, la déformation du corps ou la transparence, les silhouettes et accessoires des lauréats de 2023 et 2024 dialoguent avec ceux de leurs prédécesseurs, issus des collections du musée. Cette présentation met en lumière l’ouverture de l’ANDAM à une mode plurielle, caractérisée par des propositions esthétiques, des recherches techniques et des savoir-faire exprimant l’univers personnel de chaque créateur.

Stephen Jones, chapeaux d'artiste

Paris (F) > 19.10.2024 - 16.03.2025

The exhibition Stephen Jones, chapeaux d'artiste at the Palais Galliera presents the work of a British designer who, since his first collections in the 1980s to the most recent, is recognized by celebrities and fashion designers alike as one of the greatest contemporary milliners. For the first time in over forty years at the Palais Galliera, an exhibition is being devoted entirely to an accessory, the hat, treating it as a work of art in its own right. The exhibition focuses on Stephen Jones's creative process, the sources of inspiration behind his pieces, and the role of Paris in his work.

DIOR - A New Look

Den Haag (NL) > 21.9.2024 - 26.1.2025

In the autumn of 2024, the Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Netherlands, will present an exhibition about Christian Dior, founder of one of the world’s greatest fashion and couture houses, and his unique legacy. This retrospective – entitled DIOR – A New Look – was initiated and conceived by the Kunstmuseum and is therefore distinct from previous exhibitions staged abroad. “It will focus on Dior’s design and explore the House’s unique essence, developed during the period 1947-1957, when Monsieur Dior himself was at the helm. His successors have always respected this DNA, conveyed through themes like the New Look, the love of flowers, heroines and strong women, and the Dior Dream, which form the backbone of the exhibition”, explains fashion curator Madelief Hohé.

The Kunstmuseum Den Haag is also launching a dialogue between the vision of the founding-couturier, Christian Dior, and the current Creative Director of Dior women’s collections, Maria Grazia Chiuri. “Her work is given a central role in this exhibition which truly reflects the idea of a New Look, a 'new vision'",” Madelief Hohé points out. It will also present pieces of costume jewellery, a selection of fashion drawings, iconic images and a focus on women who were important to Christian Dior, as well as those who are important to Maria Grazia Chiuri. The Creative Director is indeed committed to designing for the modern woman, works with female artists and has an eye for the way they see things. The exhibition at the Kunstmuseum not only pays attention to Dior’s famous customers but also to the women who work so hard behind the scenes. These emphases ensure a fresh new look at Dior.

DIOR – A New Look will feature designs from the collection of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag, augmented by exceptional loans from Dior Héritage, but also from Palais Galliera (Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris), and public and private collections in Belgium, Germany, Monaco and the United States. The exhibition will be accompanied by a Dutch-language catalogue and a children’s art book about the young Christian Dior.
