Exhibition

Love Fashion：In Search of Myself

2024.09.13 fri. - 11.24 sun.

While wearing clothes is a universal practice, it also contains human desires. Moreover, these desires can sometimes be accompanied by conflicts, contradictions, and enthusiasm. Fashion is a reflection of the desire or love that each of us holds within us. It is an expansive kaleidoscopic world of color. In this exhibition, drawn primarily from the collection of the Kyoto Costume Institute, we consider various forms of ‘LOVE’ as it relates to fashion along with artworks that shed light on the fundamental drives and instincts of human beings and other living things. Viewers will have a chance to reconsider what it means to wear clothes. *Loewe / Jonathan Anderson, Dress (detail), Autumn/ Winter 2022, © The Kyoto Costume Institute, photo by Takeru Koroda
