9. Europäische Quilt-Triennale
St. Gallen (CH) > 23.05. - 14.09.2025
45 zeitgenössische Quilt- und Textilkunstwerke aus elf Nationen zeigen in dieser Schau, dass Kreativität, künstlerische Inspiration und zeitkritische Aussagen nicht allein der Malerei, Bildhauerei, Grafik und Fotokunst vorbehalten sind. Ausgewählt wurden die hochkarätigen Exponate von einer fünfköpfigen internationalen Jury aus über 130 Einsendungen. Die Entwicklung der Kunstform „Quilt“ von der überwiegend funktionalen Decke hin zum autonomen Kunstwerk innerhalb der letzten 50 Jahre ist beeindruckend. So findet sich in der Ausstellung Raumgreifendes und zugleich Politisches in Form eines Bodenobjektes mit dem Titel „Eisbär, ich möchte kein Eisbär sein, im warmen Polar“. Erfreulich hoch war der hohe Anteil junger Bewerberinnen, von denen es sieben Künstlerinnen in die Ausstellung geschafft haben. In die Slowakei ging der Preis für talentierte Nachwuchsquilterinnen für eine dreidimensionale Arbeit, die sich mit dem Zusammenhalt der Generationen beschäftigt.

Mode & Interieur. A Gendered Affair.
Antwerpen (B) > 29.03. - 03.08.2025
In der Haushaltsideologie des 19. Jahrhunderts spielte die Frau eine wichtige Rolle als „Verschönerin” ihrer selbst und ihres Hauses. Um Gemütlichkeit und Komfort zu erzeugen, dekorierte sie die Einrichtung mit weichen Kissen, allerlei Textilien, drapierten Stoffen, Handarbeiten und Schmuckgegenstände. Auch ihren Körper überlud sie mit vielen Stoffschichten und Posamenten. Sie ging völlig in ihrer Einrichtung auf und drohte manchmal sogar darin zu verschwinden. Diese visuelle Verschmelzung wurde etwas durchdachter konzipiert, als einige männliche Designer wie u. a. Henry van de Velde begannen, Damenkleidung zu entwerfen. Sie strebten nach Harmonie, stimmten zu diesem Zweck Architektur, Möbel, Dekoration, Kleidung und Accessoires aufeinander ab und schufen so ein Gesamtkunstwerk. Auch modernistische (Innen-) Architekten wie Adolf Loos, Lilly Reich und Le Corbusier ließen ihre Auffassung von Design in die Mode einfließen. Bei ihnen stand jedoch die Funktionalität im Fokus, Ornamentierung hingegen lehnten sie ab. Einen kritischen Blick auf die historische Beziehung zwischen Inneneinrichtung und Mode ermöglichen die in der Ausstellung präsentierten zeitgenössischen Kreationen von u. a. Maison Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Raf Simons und Hussein Chalayan.

Woven Histories Textiles and Modern Abstraction
New York (USA )> 15.04. - 13.09.2025
Textiles touch every aspect of our lives and connect us to history. “Threads were among the earliest transmitters of meaning,” the artist Anni Albers wrote in 1965. Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction reveals the links between this art form and abstraction. Incorporating basketry, apparel, and more than a century of other textile works that challenge accepted divisions between fine art and craft, this exhibition broadens the story of abstraction, suggesting that not only ideas but materials—like woven, knotted, and braided fabric—are crucial to its understanding and success. Spanning early-20th-century works by Sonia Delaunay, Hannah Hoch, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, whose textile practices parallel their painting and drawing, mid-century works by Albers and Ed Rossbach, and contemporary works by Rosemarie Trockel, Andrea Zittel, and Igshaan Adams, this exhibition brings together more than 150 diverse, interdisciplinary objects. Highlighting issues of labor and identity that are intertwined with modern textile production, Woven Histories argues that weaving and textiles are the quintessential link between lived experience and art.

Fashion on the Move #3
Paris (F) > 08.02. - 12.10.2025
From 8 February to 12 October 2025, the Palais Galliera is presenting the third and final part of its collections exhibition Fashion on the Move. With more than 180 new items from the museum's collections on display, the exhibition retraces the history of fashion from the eighteenth century to the present day, exploring the way in which fashion has adapted to the body in movement. The focus of this installation is winter sports.
Garments designed for physical activity and sport through the ages are compared with clothes that people wore in everyday life. It is a dialogue that takes in the concept of specialised sportswear, from the adaptation of women's outfits for sporting activities in the late 19th century to the masculinisation of women's clothing and the introduction of sportswear in the modern wardrobe. Swimming costumes, cycling outfits and riding habits, motoring coats and accessories, tennis wear and sneakers are just some of the silhouettes used to illustrate three centuries of fashion history. Fashion on the Move #3 is more than just a chronological review of the history of clothing; it offers insights into how the liberation of the body led to changes in attitudes and standards of beauty. A large section of this last instalment of the exhibition is devoted to winter sports, tracing the emergence of high-altitude resorts and the development of new winter sports such as skiing, tobogganing, ice hockey, ice skating and sledding, as well as the gradual emergence of specially adapted outfits and accessories from specialist equipment manufacturers (including Rossignol, Tunmer and Mavest), fashion houses (including Hermès, Jean Patou and Madeline de Rauch) as well as collaborations between the two. This section is also an opportunity to discover the museum's extensive collection of down jackets, ski suits, stirrup ski pants and knitted accessories. The exhibition has benefited from exceptional loans from CHANEL, the Musée National du Sport (Nice), the Bibliothèque Forney, the Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris, the Musée Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris, the Fondation Azzedine Alaïa, the Émile Hermès collection, Patrimoine Hermès, the Balenciaga Archives, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Fusalp and Le Coq Sportif. These guest items bring added perspective to the Palais Galliera's own pieces that bear witness to exercise and sports activities through the ages, whether competitive or for leisure.

40 + years of STIJL
Brüssel (B) > 18.04.2025 - 11.01.2026
An intimate look at four decades of Belgian fashion history. We are in the Dansaert district of Brussels. It is the 1980s. The forerunners of Belgian fashion are opening stores here. Sonja Noël is the first. For 40 years, through her STIJL boutique, Sonja has been translating contemporary Belgian fashion into everyday fashion wear. By supporting new brands and young designers, STIJL has played a part in writing the story of fashion in the city, the region and throughout the country. 40 + years of STIJL is more than just the story of a boutique. Both inspired and inspirational, the central role of this woman is revealed through 68 silhouettes created by 46 designers. It highlights the link she created between designers and customers, between high fashion and people’s everyday lives, between a boutique and a whole neighbourhood. At first glance, the story of STIJL is not particularly different from that of any other fashion boutique. What sets it apart, though, is its unique selection of designers. STIJL is the place where collections move from the conceptualised and image-based world of fashion to the experience of everyday life. Like the boutique itself, the exhibition 40+ years of STIJL highlights the work of designers. The exhibition is not arranged in chronological order. It is structured around STIJL’s values. What exactly are these values? The designers, collaborators and customers that Aya Noël me to build the exhibition are the best People to explain. They each describe these values in their own way: originality, authenticity, soul,…

Rococo Reboot! Fashion 1750 - 183
Hasselt (B) > 04.04.2025 - 22.02.2026
Eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century fashion inevitably evokes images of lavish ball gowns in macaron colors, extravagant jewelry, and towering hairstyles adorned with feathers. But does this cinematic image align with historical reality? Rococo Reboot! answers this question and takes you on a fascinating journey through fashion from 1750 to 1830. Through a thematic journey, the exhibition reveals the role of fashion in daily life. Did you know that dressing was a ritual, from lacing a corset to carefully arranging bows and ribbons? That clothing not only served as a status symbol but also contributed to hygiene? Or that city fashion was an entire universe, with specialized luxury boutiques and a love for strolling in parks and salons? This exhibition offers a critical reinterpretation of the Rococo era and its fashion history. Rococo Reboot! breaks through common stereotypes and shows that fashion history is not a series of neatly defined periods but a continuous evolution in which styles and trends are constantly being reinvented. With contemporary insights and sensory experiences, you will discover how fashion from this period continues to influence today.

Dior, Jardins Enchanteurs
Granville (F) > 12.04. - 02.11.2025
Depuis 1997, année d’ouverture du Musée Christian Dior au public dans la maison d’enfance du couturier, l’association Présence de Christian Dior organise des expositions thématiques mettant en valeur ses créations et celles de ses successeurs. Plus de vingt ans après l’exposition « Dior côté jardins » en 2001, les jardins sont à nouveau à l’honneur. Essentiels dans la vie de Christian Dior, ils ont aussi été une source d’influence majeure pour le couturier tant en matière de mode qu’en matière de parfums. A leur tour, les directeurs artistiques de la maison Dior aujourd’hui, Maria Grazia Chiuri directrice artistique des collections femmes, Kim Jones, directeur artistique des collections masculines, Francis Kurkdjian, directeur de la Création Parfums, ainsi que les créateurs des accessoires, de la joaillerie ou encore des arts de la table, toutes et tous s’emparent des jardins qu’ils déclinent avec talent, élégance et fantaisie. Cent vingt ans après la naissance de Christian Dior à Granville, relire le jardin de son enfance par le prisme de ses créations et celles de ses successeurs, grâce aux prêts généreux de la maison Dior et de prê

Azzedine Alaïa, Thierry Mugler
Paris ( F) > 03.03. - 31.08.2025
Established in Paris in 1956, Azzedine Alaïa owes his training more to his female friends and customers than to any training school. He accompanies them in their desire for a demanding yet discreet wardrobe. A great couturier who has lost none of the closeness that a fitting or cutting session imposes, Azzedine has acquired the reputation of a great cutter heir to an academic tradition that places him in the direct line of Cristóbal Balenciaga or Madeleine Vionnet. His expertise and technical virtuosity are coveted not only by the elegant women of the moment. Couturiers and fashion designers know they can count on him to refine certain complex designs or lend a hand on a collection that needs finishing. This was the case for Yves Saint Laurent. It was also the case with Thierry Mugler, whom Alaïa met in 1979 and with whom he forged a real friendship. For his autumn-winter 1979-80 collection, Mugler invited Alaïa to design the series of tuxedos for his fashion show, and in the press kit that accompanied the presentation of his creations that season, he thanked him publicly. In the hands of the man who never wanted to transgress the laws of cut, powder-grain and satin trouser suits acquired a form of notability and fluidity that was much appreciated. This collaboration encouraged Alaïa to become a designer himself. Thierry Mugler strongly encouraged him, and his support proved both vital and unfailing. On Rue de Bellechasse, where Azzedine has set up his workshops, Mugler, always flanked by his bicycle, brings in the top fashion journalists. In 1982, at the request of the American department store Bergdorf Goodman, Alaïa presented a show in New York. It was Mugler who persuaded him to do so, Alaïa imagining that the invitation was a joke! The designer, friend and admirer, accompanied him, organized and built the show himself, answered and translated interviews, and supported his comrade in the smallest tasks, for which he was eternally grateful. In the summer, they spend their vacations together in Tunisia at the home of lifelong friend Latifa and Leila Menchari.

Bals costumés Habiller l’Histoire, 1870-1927
Montreal (CA) > 14.11.2024 - 17.08.2025
A century and a half ago, extravagant costume balls and skating carnivals were the pinnacle of society entertainments, bringing forth a kaleidoscopic array of fanciful costumed characters. But, beneath all the anachronistic exuberance, these balls reinforced core myths of colonial destiny and imperial futures. This exhibition captures the splendour of entertainments where, for just one evening, guests transformed themselves into characters inspired by history or fantasy. The invitation to reimagine oneself as an alter ego was no less than an opportunity of a lifetime, occasioning study, expense, and a trip to the photographer’s studio. Costume Balls: Dressing Up History, 1870-1927 tells an extraordinary story, showcasing some of the most extraordinary objects in the Museum’s collections. Rarely do visitors get a chance to see so many garments from the nineteenth century —that have survived in spite of being created to last a single evening— in an exhibition space. And rarely do we see captured in photography such a lighthearted side of life from a time where public presentation of the self was a most serious matter. The exhibition fully explores the tremendous scale of the efforts to commemorate these balls, which in itself will surprise visitors, making clever use of digital technology all while taking a critical look at the way these grand events helped reinforce imperialist myths. Over 40 dazzling outfits worn will be on display as well as photographs of guests in costume, souvenir publications and more —that capture the spirit and prestige of these grand events. This exhibition and the accompanying publication represent the culmination of a research effort which draws on the quintessential strengths of the McCord Stewart Museum’s rich collections. Many remarkable discoveries, unveiled to the public for the first time.
