Drawing Fashion celebrates a unique collection of some of the most remarkable fashion illustrations from the twentieth and twenty first centuries. These original works define the fine art of illustrating fashion, from the collections of Chanel, Dior, Comme des Garçons and Poiret as well as Viktor & Rolf, Lacroix and McQueen.

This exhibition showcases fashion illustrators at their creative heights: Lepape at the beginning of the century, Gruau in the 40′s and 50′s, Antonio throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s, to current artists Mats Gustafson, Aurore de la Morinerie and Francois Berthoud. Film-clips, news reels, music and photography will sit alongside the original illustrations to reflect not only the spirit and the style of the decades but also the wider social and cultural changes of the century.

It will be the first time this collection, which was put together over 30 years by Joelle Chariau of Galerie Bartsch & Chariau, has been displayed.

DYSFASHIONAL

Internationale Mode-Kunst-Ausstellung

“DYSFASHIONAL ist eine Ausstellung im Kontext von Mode und Kunst. Nach Stationen in Luxemburg, Lausanne und Paris ist DYSFASHIONAL nun in Berlin zu sehen.

Die ausstellenden Künstler und Designer präsentieren keine Kleidungsstücke auf dem Laufsteg, sondern experimentieren mit der Begrifflichkeit und Materialität von Mode. Sie zeigen Installationen, die ihr kreatives Universum und ihre künstlerische Herangehensweise reflektieren und reizen dabei die Grenzen von Mode und Kunst aus.”

Each drawing and sketch board is precisely reproduced on a nice mat paper, has a fabric sample of each piece of cloth, quote the workshop that made it, the name of the model who wore it in the show, the order of appearance.

“Italian fashion designers Donatella Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Anna Molinari for Blumarine, Veronica Etro, Silvia Venturini for Fendi, Consuelo Castiglioni for Marni, Angela Missoni and Rossella Jardini for Moschino, have teamed with Coca Cola for fund raising campaign in support of the victims of the earthquake in Abruzzo, Italy.

These famous fashion designers have dressed with fantasy and colors Coca-Cola light’s bottle and have sold them at auction during the “Tribute to Fashion” show in Milan. Eight fashion designers, only women, have done a great work with Coca Cola bottle, because every packaging has a strong personality and represent very well brand values as happiness or joy of life, of course always in a chic and exclusive way.”

New work from Chad Lavigne, LLC for Michael Kors’ new fragrance, Very Hollywood:

“The fragrance name is “Very Hollywood”. The concept for the fragrance was hollywood red carpet. We took it a step further and made it “young” hollywood. Dropped the dusty red and replaced with the coral color. The bottle has divets in the glass that were inspired by the paparazzi flashes on the red carpet with a typography linked to Beverly Hills.”
