ja, ich will! 250 jahre brautkleider

Leuuwarden ( NL)> 14.09.2024 - 16.02.2025

Bis zum 16. Februar 2025 zeigt das Fries Museum eine große Ausstellung über Brautkleider aus den letzten 250 Jahren, in der historische, moderne und zeitgenössische Kleider präsentiert werden. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Brautkleid in den Niederlanden. Das Museum nimmt die Besucher mit auf eine Zeitreise vom 18. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart, auf der Suche nach dem Wesen des Hochzeitskleides. Welchen Moden und Traditionen war das Kleid unterworfen? Woher kommt das „weiße“ Hochzeitskleid, wie wir es heute kennen? Und was sagt das Kleid über seine Trägerin aus?

Future Observatory: Tomorrow’s Wardrobe

London ( GB)>24.09.2023 - August 2025

omorrow's Wardrobe brings together a diversity of designers from across the fashion industry who are revolutionising the way we create, make, and wear clothes – including Stella McCartney, Ponda, Ahluwalia, Salomon, Ranra, Phoebe English and Vivobarefoot.

The fashion and textile industry is one of the most environmentally damaging design fields at work today. The footprint of our wardrobes extends from textile production in farms and factories to the design process in fashion houses. Though a significant driver of the UK economy, the impact of fashion is felt across the world in the form of material waste, ecological degradation, water pollution, exploitative working conditions and overproduction: annual garment production has doubled since 2000 and is expected to have increased by 60% in 2030.

Tomorrow’s Wardrobe showcases the urgent research and innovation taking place across the UK to rethink how the world of fashion works. Moving from fabric landscapes to design studios to individual garments, the display presents a future built from both high-tech and low-tech tools: sewing machines, robotic arms, artificial intelligence, digital ids, upcycling, recycling and more.

Tomorrow’s Wardrobe is curated by Future Observatory, the Design Museum’s national research programme for the green transition. Future Observatory is coordinated by the Design Museum in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

The display has been supported by curatorial advisors Kate Goldsworthy (UAL), Jalaj Hora (Nike) and Susan Postlethwaite (Manchester Metropolitan University).

Leiden feiert - 450 Jahre Paraden

Leiden ( NL) > 24.09.2024 - 02.03.2025

Celebrating together is of all times. Parades are the perfect form for that. They create togetherness and a shared identity. When society changes, parades change with it - for example, from elitist to democratic, from divided to united or vice versa. This makes parades a mirror of society. With the exhibition Leiden Celebrates - 450 years of Parades, Museum De Lakenhal, together with the city and the university, celebrates Leiden's rich tradition in this field - a tradition that is still alive and kicking. We also look ahead to the future.

Leiden as a parade city

Nowhere else in our country has the genesis of the Netherlands been celebrated as exuberantly as in Leiden. Ever since Leiden's Relief on October 3, 1574 and the founding of the university on February 8, 1575, parades have been organized in the city. With the exhibition Leiden Celebrates - 450 Years of Parades we look back on this rich history.

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?
