Modemuseum Hasselt - Haute-à-Porter curated by Filep Motwary
From the 2nd of April until the 11th of September 2016.
Modemuseum Hasselt presents ‘Haute-à-Porter’, an exhibition conceived and curated by Filep Motwary.
Haute couture is synonymous with craftsmanship, luxury, extravagance and spectacle. But aren’t these typical features of contemporary prêt-à-porter? The exhibition examines this question further and researches the changing relationship and cross-fertilization between haute couture and ready to wear.
Through a variety of themes and a selection of spectacular silhouettes and accessories from high-end designers and fashion houses, the exhibition highlights the significance of haute couture for contemporary fashion. Completed with photography, film, art and music, Haute-à-Porter offers a unique insight into the fashion industry of the last 30 years.
