Couture Graphique at MOTI museum

Today I visited Breda for the first time thanks to the Couture Graphique exhibition at MOTI museum.
For everyone who is looking for a reason to visit Breda; well perhaps because of MOTI.

Couture Graphique is the first exhibition ever about fashion and graphic design; an exhibition in which shows the communicative and decorative aspects of clothing and accessories as a means of communication.
Clothing has become an important means of expression; clothing represents the person who wears it and what he or she wishes to project and communicate. Graphic design plays a role in fashion right up to wearable technologies where clothing is used as interface for communication technology.

The exhibition shows work of designers: Walter van Beirendonck, Bas Kosters, Henrik Vibskov, A.F. Vandevorst, Dries van Noten, Viktor and Rolf, Raf Simons, Paul Smith, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Bernhard Willhelm, and more.

MOTI has invited José Teunissen (Professor in Fashion Theory at ArtEZ in Arnhem, Holland and since 2009 visiting professor to the University of the Arts in London), to investigate this subject of Couture Graphique in depth and develop an exhibition concept as a curator.

The exhibition is open until August 8th 2013.
