Members are invited to join NGV Senior Curator Katie Somerville and exhibition designer Peter King for an exclusive introduction to Westwood | Kawakubo, the NGV’s world-premiere summer blockbuster exhibition that pairs two global icons of the fashion world, British designer Vivienne Westwood and Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo.
Through a showstopping display of more than 140 innovative and ground-breaking designs, Westwood | Kawakubo explores the convergences and divergences between these two self-taught rebels of the fashion world.
Members can learn about the curatorial approach and exhibition design behind this major exhibition, ahead of the exhibition opening on 7 December at NGV International.
