Glitzer
Hamburg (D) > 28.2. - 26.10.2025
Glitzer funkelt und flirrt, fasziniert und empört. Es ist auf Bühnen ebenso zu finden wie auf Protestplakaten und in Kinderzimmern. Glitzer ist omnipräsent – und doch ist das MK&G weltweit das erste Haus, das diesem Material eine Ausstellung widmet. Der Schwerpunkt der Ausstellung liegt auf Glitzer als Symbol für Zugehörigkeit, Empowerment und Selbstbestimmung und beleuchtet den Einsatz in politischen Kontexten und kollektiven Bewegungen. Rund 40 internationale Positionen aus Kunst und Gestaltung widmen sich Glitzer als Ausdruck der Freude an gesellschaftlicher Vielfalt und kollektiver Ausgelassenheit, als Mittel des Protests, der Performance und Popkultur, als Symbol der Sichtbarmachung marginalisierter Gruppen und des Widerstands gegen Körpernormen. Gezeigt werden unter anderem ein glitzerndes Jugendzimmer der Hamburger Künstlerin Jenny Schäfer, Fotografien von Quil Lemons, Skateboards von Mickalene Thomas, GIFs von Molly Soda, Show-Perücken der Hamburger Designer Karl Gadzali und Mohamad Barakat-Götz für Olivia Jones und ein Bühnenoutfit von Bill Kaulitz.

Fashion in the time of Giacomo Casanova
Venedig (I) > 07.03. - 27.07.2025
An icon of a world and a civilisation, Giacomo Casanova is a remarkable key to understanding 18th-century Europe: the world of the great courts and powerful dynasties, exciting encounters with leading figures in art and culture, the enthralling uncertainties of gambling and of the boundless, many-sided theatrical metamorphoses. The exhibition of 18th-century garments – partly from the collections of the Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo, Centro Studi di Storia del Tessuto e del Costume – takes us into the 18th-century world in which Casanova was one of the most illustrious figures. The exhibition, organised in the rooms of the first piano nobile of the museum, already styled in 18th-century Venetian taste, helps us understand how greatly aesthetics formed an essential language, not only in seduction but above all in the social rise of the individual, in an age when appearances were the only way to assert one’s social and economic position.

Leigh Bowery!
London (GB) > 18.02. - 31.08.2025
Leigh Bowery’s short but extraordinary life left a distinct, undeniable mark on the art world and beyond. An artist, performer, model, TV personality, club promoter, fashion designer and musician, Bowery took on many different roles, all the while refusing to be limited by convention. From his emergence in the nightlife of 1980s London through to his later daring and outrageous performances in galleries, theatres, and the street, Bowery fearlessly forged his own vibrant path. He reimagined clothing and makeup as forms of painting and sculpture, tested the limits of decorum, and celebrated the body as a shape-shifting tool with the power to challenge norms of aesthetics, sexuality and gender. Embracing performance, club culture and fashion design, Bowery created some of the most iconic images of the 1980s and 90s that continue to resonate, with his influence seen in the work of figures such as Alexander McQueen, Jeffrey Gibson, Anohni, and Lady Gaga. This eclectic and immersive exhibition is a rare chance to experience many of Bowery’s ‘Looks’ alongside his collaborations with artists including Michael Clark, John Maybury, Baillie Walsh, Fergus Greer, Nick Knight and Lucian Freud. It will provide a fresh insight into the creative scenes in London, New York and beyond featuring Sue Tilley, Trojan, Princess Julia, Les Child, Andrew Logan, Lady Bunny, Scarlett Cannon, MINTY and Boy George. Moving from the club to the stage, to the gallery and beyond, step inside Bowery’s dynamic creative world that blurred the lines between art and life. The exhibition is organised by Tate Modern in collaboration with Nicola Rainbird, Director and Owner of the Estate of Leigh Bowery

Superfine: Tailoring Black Style
New York (USA) > 01.05. - 26.10.2025
The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition presents a cultural and historical examination of Black style over three hundred years through the concept of dandyism. In the 18th-century Atlantic world, a new culture of consumption, fueled by the slave trade, colonialism, and imperialism, enabled access to clothing and goods that indicated wealth, distinction, and taste. Black dandyism sprung from the intersection of African and European style traditions. Superfine: Tailoring Black Style explores the importance of style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora, particularly in the United States and Europe. Through a presentation of garments and accessories, paintings, photographs, decorative arts, and more, from the 18th century to today, the exhibition interprets the concept of dandyism as both an aesthetic and a strategy that allowed for new social and political possibilities. Superfine is organized into 12 sections, each representing a characteristic that defines the style, such as Champion, Respectability, Heritage, Beauty, and Cosmopolitanism. Together, these characteristics demonstrate how one’s self-presentation is a mode of distinction and resistance—within a society impacted by race, gender, class, and sexuality. The exhibition is made possible by Louis Vuitton.

Scheren-Schnitt - Lächelnder Schmerz der Modeindustrie
Hannover (D) > 03.04. - 31.08.2025
Mit der aktuellen Sonderausstellung blickt das Museum für textile Kunst zurück: 25 Jahre ist es her, dass die Expo 2000 mit ihrem Motto „Mensch, Natur, Technik - Eine neue Welt entsteht“ die ganze Welt begeisterte.
Die Ausstellung „Scherenschnitt und Zwangsjacke“ des Kirchlichen Entwicklungsdienstes der evangelisch- lutherischen Landeskirche hinterfragte damals als Teil der Expo die Arbeitsbedingungen in der Textilindustrie und ist jetzt Herzstück der neuen Präsentation im MFTK. Mit kunstvoll gestalteten Krinolinen aus Plastik, wertvollen Stickereien und historischen Kleidern stellt Ausstellungsmacherin Erika Knoop die Frage, was sich seitdem getan hat. Sind uns die Lieferketten bewusst? Ist uns in unserer heutigen Zeit Schnäppchenglück immer noch wichtiger als die Folgen des Billigwahns mit seinen Auswüchsen in Billiglohnländern? Was kann jede einzelne Person tun? Und kann die Digitalisierung die Produktionsbedingungen verbessern?
Eine Antwort gibt das Museum direkt vor Ort: In der Ausstellung können Besucher:innen Vintage-Mode erwerben und den Kleidungsstücken ein zweites Leben schenken.
Besonders hervorzuheben sind hierbei durch Upcycling veredelte Textilien aus der Designwerkstatt.
Das MFTK engagiert sich für einen achtsamen, sozialverträglichen und umweltbewussten Umgang mit Kleidung.
Die Dauerausstellung zeigt in einem renovierten Bunker des Zweiten Weltkriegs kostbare Textilien aus aller Welt, die von der Modedesignerin und Museumsgründerin Erika Knoop in über 40 Jahren zusammengetragen wurden.

The dress makes the man
Borås (S) > 12.10.2024 - 24.08.2025
The exhibition is based on Fredrik Robertsson’s spectacular contemporary haute couture collection and explores two main themes: the revival of handcrafted fashion in the 21st century as well as the rise of personal style and self-expression in the digital era. Fredrik Robertsson is one of very few men who custom orders hand-sewn creations from Parisian haute couture houses. The exhibition showcases some of his most spectacular garments from leading fashion houses including Alexis Mabille, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda, JeanPaul Gaultier, Iris van Herpen, Stéphane Rolland, Schiaparelli, Valentino,Viktor & Rolf and Vivienne Westwood, as well as from experimental designers such as Richard Quinn and Robert Wun. Since the mid 19th century, the haute couture houses of Paris have been creating high-end, hand-made fashion – exclusively for women. Today, a transformation of this traditional genre is under way. A new generation of designers have taken over as artistic directors and a new category of expressive clients have discovered the highest level of fashion. Fredrik Robertsson is one of the leading figures in the new wave of haute couture clients. Since investing in his first creation just under ten years ago, he has amassed an outstanding collection of meticulously selected garments – originally designed for women – which have been tailored to his body. With his eye-catching, gender-fluid style he has become a style role model and a muse on the international fashion scene, at a time when the boundary between female and male has been blurred and feminine coded garments such as the dress have entered the male wardrobe. Some 50 of Fredrik Robertsson’s creations are on view, as well as a large number of unique photographs by Ea Czyz documenting Robertsson’s visits to Paris over the years. Together they provide unique insights into the art of self-expression and the new era of Paris haute couture, from the front row and backstage at the fashion shows, to the fitting room and the sewing ateliers where the extravagant garments take shape.
