HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What is a better way of starting 2019 than with some amazing mind blowing exhibitions?
Here comes my top 4 fashion exhibitions in Sweden. Certainly, they are on my TO DO list for January. Actually, the first visit is planned today. And if you don´t make it to all 4 of them in January, no worries, most of them show another month or 2.
Top 4 fashion(able) exhibitions in Sweden
1. Margiela, the years with Hermès
Where: at Artipelag, Stockholm
When: until the 10th of March.
Another fabulous international exhibition earlier showed at the MoMu in Antwerpen. Between 1997 and 2003 Martin Margiela was the head of design womenswear at Hermès. At this exhibition his creations from this era are shown with garments, videos and sketches. In addition, you can see designs from his own brand Margiela. Read more on their website
2 William Morris (you know, from the famous Miller wallpaper)
Where: Millesgården, Stockholm.
When: until the 3rd of February
Hurry up for this one! Millesgården is always worth a visit for their amazing statues and garden. And with the current exhibition it´s certainly on my priority list coming month. Williams life is shown by art, wallpaper, fabrics and furniture. If you love his flower prints, this one is a must! Read more here
3. Balenciaga, Master of Couture
Where: Textile museam in Borås
When: until the 21st of April
This exhibition is definitely worth a city trip to Borås! I am planning to see it in the coming week. It`s an international exhibition, first showed in Victoria and Albert museum in London before coming to Borås. The exhibition focuses on the years 1950-1960; which is the time that Cristobal Balenciaga created revolutionary design which changed the fashion of that time. Read more here
4. Kirsty Mitchell, Wonderland
Where: Fotografiska, Stockholm
When: until the 3rd of March.
The exhibition showcases a beautiful, fairytale like photo project. The project took 5 years to finish and was for Kirsty a part of the grieving process of her mother, who died of cancer.
