Overview
Bendigo Art Gallery is once again proving that it is worth a trek out of the city to witness an outstanding exhibition. Modern Love will feature 60 fashion-focused works from the post-punk era of the 1980s to today. All pieces have been gathered from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) Museum in Los Angeles.
Items in the collection will range from the haute couture of Alexander McQueen to Adidas high-tops and t-shirts. The point of displaying such a variation of designers is to encapsulate contemporary fashion and style. Bendigo Art Gallery will be the only venue in Australia to display this specific collection, and it is the first travelling exhibition of its kind from the FIDM Museum.
Designers that are featured in Modern Love include Thom Browne, Chanel, Comme des Garçons, Dior, Ferragamo, Tom Ford, Jean Paul Gaultier, Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson, Patrick Kelly, Helmut Lang, Monique Lhuillier, Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake, Moschino, Thierry Mugler, Hiroaki Ohya, Zac Posen, Prada, Christian Francis Roth, Ralph Rucci, Valentino, Versace, Vivienne Westwood, YSL and more.
