We invite Premium Members to join us for an intimate reception to celebrate Westwood | Kawakubo, the exhibition that pairs two global icons of the fashion world, Vivienne Westwood and Rei Kawakubo.

Spanning from the mid-1970s to the present day, the exhibition explores the convergences and divergences between these two self-taught rebels and the ways that they have each rewritten fashion conventions over the course of their careers, through more than 140 innovative and ground-breaking designs, archival materials, runway footage and more.

Beginning with a welcome and introduction to the exhibition by NGV senior curator Katie Somerville in the Members Lounge, guests will then have an opportunity to enjoy the exhibition with a private viewing, before NGV Friday Nights begins.

Premium Members and their guest are then welcome to stay at the NGV after this for the full Friday Nights experience.
