The Social Interest Of The Fashion Exhibition

Jean Paul Gaultier in

The boundary is a heterogeneous group.

His design concept is not entirely in the direction of traditional high-end fashion, but rather because of the designer's personal orientation, adding a lot of interesting and dramatic elements, so that clothing is no longer just beautifying the fashion of the human body, but rising to the level of costume with an independent expression.

Therefore, when the museum holds the retrospective exhibition of Jean Paul Gaultier, it is also doomed not to be able to walk the traditional and old-fashioned route.

In 2011, Gaultier planned the "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier" fashion exhibition along with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada.

In the next four years, the exhibition began to tour around the world, and exhibited in London, Paris, New York and many other cities.

The last stop of the exhibition is also the only stop in the Asia Pacific region. It chose to hold the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.

The special feature of "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier" is that it is a roving exhibition.

The former curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot has laid down the basic thinking steps, so we will continue to follow his thinking.

Of course, for the Australian audience, we will make appropriate changes to make it more suitable for local tastes.

Mr. Roger Leong, the director of the textile exhibition hall of the art museum, spoke to me.

It is divided into seven parts, showing the rich achievements of Jean Paul Gaultier from tag design (fishtail skirt, Navy stripes), underwear elements, dance and music, sex and body, entertainment industry, urban life and inspiration Mousika.

The determination of theme is also guided by the principle of gradual and gradual development: Gaultier has drawn a wide variety of elements from his life to use for himself. His thoughts on men's clothes and women's clothes are therefore unconventional, moving on the edge of common sense and challenging the traditional secular at any time.

The most typical example is his gender vaguely dressed rule: men can wear corsets and long skirts. Women either dress up as men (of course, this is not in advance at the moment), or they are generous and naked.

"Making Gaultier especially his.

It really causes people to think about the relationship between clothing and body.

In his works, you can see the rich and varied roles of the society.

And many others.

But only willing to serve the so-called ideal figure or figure.

Roger Leong read.

This can be seen from the richness of exhibits: nearly three hundred pieces of clothing, advanced customization, accessories and so on are dazzling. It seems that every viewer who comes to see the exhibition can find a single product close to his identity and fantasize about his unique role narratives.

Every exhibition needs special exploding points to attract audiences.

NGV's Gaultier exhibition focuses on the relationship between Gaultier and Australia.

Australian designers dressed up, their past costumes and photos have been shown together. Compared with previous exhibitions, designers seem to be very close to this vast and talented land: actors Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, singer Kylie Minogue, model Gemma Ward, Andrej Pejic, and many other Australian celebrities, who have personally recorded video clips to tell the story between themselves and Gaultier.

At the end of the interview, Roger Leong also invited me to attend the opening ceremony of the exhibition.

I said I might not be able to catch up for time.

"It doesn't matter. I'll send you the invitation.

Even if you take it home and put it on the fridge for decoration, it will be nice! Gaultier will like this idea again! "I understood what he meant at that moment.

The positive and optimistic attitude advocated by Gaultier is not only limited to clothing, but also to the whole life.

You know what a great energy and gift it is in the fashion world that many people pretend to be cool.
