We think that when traveling to a new place, one should always check the exhibitions that are open at the time. Exhibitions are a fun way of learning about history and creating an even bigger cultural baggage.
This year is full of fashion exhibitions waiting to open, so we’ve done a little list for you with some of the most interesting ones (that does not mean that the ones we are not mentioning are not that interesting). Here we go:
“Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” at the MET Fifth Avenue
Starting 4th of May until 4th of September you can visit the Rei Kawakubo – Comme des Garcons exhibition called “Art of the In-Between”. It will feature 120 creations of the Japanese designer for Comme des Garcons. So, if you find yourself in New York during those days, visiting is a must!
“Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion” at The Victoria&Albert Museum
The Victoria and Albert museum will be hosting an extraordinary exhibition from May 27, 2017, to February 18, 2018. It is celebrating the work of the legendary Cristòbal Balenciaga.
