The exhibition explores the relation between art and fashion. Since the sixties art and fashion share the same avant-garde feeling.

The exhibition will show fashion and objects by Walter van Beirendonck, Louise Bourgeois, Hussein Chalayan, Comme des Garçons, Salvador Dali, Martin Margiela, Francesco Vezzoli, Viktor&Rolf and many others.
