Translated from Dutch
Contemporary fashion designers increasingly work in the field of the visual arts and so influence the art world. the exhibition "The art of fashion": Installing Allusions" focuses on the dynamic boundary between fashion and art. At th heart of the exhibition are exclusive new works by five of the world's leading fashion designers. Specially for the exhibition The H+F Fashion on the Edge Foundations has invited Viktor & Rolf, Naomi Filmer, Hussein Chalayan, anna-Nicole Ziesche and Walter van Beirendonck to create new works that abandon the principle of wearable clothing. the themes suggested by these commissioned works are explored in more than fifty objects by an international group of artists and designers who work in a similar manner.
