Where: Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
What: Exhibition
When: 19 September 2009 - 10 January 2010

Fashion as a source of inspiration for art and vice versa! A large international fashion exhibition about how fashion draws close to the visual arts in many ways. The exhibition shows how the borders between art and fashion are becoming ever more blurred and how both disciplines continually influence each other. Especially for this exhibition, Viktor & Rolf, Hussein Chalayan, Walter van Beirendonck, Anna Nicole Ziesche and Naomi Filmer will be awarded with exclusive assignments as part of the H+F Fashion on the Edge programme. The exhibition will also feature work by Dai Rees, Jana Bartak, Martin Margiela, Comme des Garçons and Bless. Guest curators for this exhibition are José Teunissen (lecturer Artez Arnhem) and Judith Clark (architect and designer, London).
