Join designer Ryohei Kawanishi or a member of his fashion team for a live activation of his installation “NEW” Collection, featured in the exhibition fashion after Fashion. In four events held during the month of May, visitors will be treated as “fashion buyers” in order to learn about the process and marketing that go into making fashion collections.
This talk will look at the act of designing from necessity as opposed to creating for pleasure. The discussion will focus on how four women have used their life experiences and challenges to create work with a social narrative and ability to mobilize masses. MORE>
Join us for an evening to toast and meet The Store at MAD’s new fine jewelry artists who each redefine the modern heirloom for the contemporary woman. Their jewelry is dynamic and constantly changing, while being timeless in the face of the shifting aesthetics of our contemporary lives.
In 2015, fashion trend forecaster and authority Li Edelkoort declared “the end of Fashion as we know it,” and in her “manifesto for the next decade” provided “ten reasons why the fashion system is obsolete.” In doing so, Edelkoort echoed a sentiment shared by fashion industry insiders, journalists, pundits, and scholars alike. Organized in conjunction with MAD’s exhibition fashion after Fashion, this program features a conversation about the contemporary state of fashion between Edelkoort and exhibition curator Hazel Clark.
Organized in response to MAD’s exhibition fashion after Fashion,this two-hour durational performance program features new works by interdisciplinary artists, designers, and dancers whose projects navigate the intersections of fashion, sculpture, installation, and performance.
