The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier
Monday, March 19, 2012 Attention all bay area TFG readers. The de Young Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco is launching The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk. The exhibition will be on view from March 24-August 19, 2012 and this Friday is the Le Grande Fête, where you can party with the designer at the opening with food and cocktails.
The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier is the first major exhibition dedicated to the celebrated French designer. More than 130 iconic haute couture and prêt-a-porter ensembles created between the early 1970s and 2010 will be dramatically displayed in scenic contexts ranging from the boudoir to graffiti streets and the catwalk. Animated mannequins talk and sing in playful and outrageous vignettes, enhancing the artistry and culturally revolutionary work of Gaultier. The exhibition also includes the elaborate costumes from Madonna's Vogue tour.
The Fashion Grid is a happy to see another museum recognize fashion designers as true artists. To purchase tickets for the event, click here.
