Dressed for Success. Matthäus Schwarz. Ein Augsburger Modetagebuch des 16. Jahrhunderts

Augsburg (D) > 01.12.2020 – 13.06.2021

Im Jahr 1520, lange vor Instagram & Co, begann Matthäus Schwarz (1497-1574), ein junger Kaufmann aus Augsburg, ein ungewöhnliches Tagebuch anzulegen. Für die nächsten 40 Jahre seines Lebens ließ er sich in kostbaren, oft extravaganten Kleidungsstücken porträtieren, die er zu verschiedensten Gelegenheiten für sich fertigen ließ.

Dieses "klaidungsbuechlin" spiegelt anschaulich die Männermode des 16. Jahrhunderts wider. Matthäus Schwarz machte Karriere und wurde Hauptbuchhalter der Fugger, der berühmten Augsburger Unternehmer- und Bankerfamilie. Das »klaidungsbuechlin« präsentiert ihn in kleinen Miniaturen als selbst- und standesbewussten Kaufmann, dessen Modeentscheidungen eng mit seiner beruflichen und sozialen Karriere verbunden waren.

Nach 500 Jahren kehrt das Modetagebuch, heute im Besitz des Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museums in Braunschweig, mit der Ausstellung an den Ort seiner Entstehung zurück. Aus konservatorischen Gründen voraussichtlich das letzte Mal.

British – ever so Nordic

Stockholm (S) > 05.02.2019 - 31.12.2021

Nordiska Museet in Stockholm shows how Nordic fashion, clothes styles and lifestyle are influenced by Britain’s creative industry. The narrative runs from the Middle Ages to the present day, illustrated through fabrics, patterns, clothes and phenomena that have been shaped into a part of everyday life in Scandinavia. British: Ever So Nordic.
Cardigan, jumper and trench coat. Tartans and Doc Martens boots. Flowery wallpaper, pajamas and a cup of tea. Football, tennis and a stroll in the woods wearing wellingtons. These are such commonplace elements of our everyday life that we may not reflect on where they come from. With Brexit around the corner, Nordiska museet in Stockholm shows how centuries of trade relations with Britain have affected Nordic fashions and lifestyle. There are numerous points of contact between Sweden and Britain, and in many ways there is a shared outlook.

Sewing Stories of Displacement

Santa Fe (USA) > 16.02.2020 - 28.03.2021

Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, moments of violence, political upheaval, and natural disaster have led to the displacement of entire communities. Since the 1960s, displaced people throughout the world—women, men, and children—have embroidered the stories of their forced migrations, new transitions, and memories of more stable lives. Through these textiles, they have been able to document their experiences, share their perspectives, and often, supplement their income during desperate times.

Christian Dior

Montréal (CA) > 25.09.2020 - 02.05.2021

This major exhibition on Christian Dior explores the brilliance behind Dior’s dramatic creations that revived the entire Parisian haute couture industry after the devastation of the Second World War. In 1947, the opening of the new couture house and the revolutionary “New Look” swept away the wartime masculine silhouette, making Christian Dior’s postwar fashions desired, worn and copied by women around the world.
Drawn from the Royal Ontario Museum’s extensive collection of Christian Dior couture, complemented by a dozen garments from the McCord Museum’s Dress, Fashion and Textiles collection as well as loans from Dior Héritage, Paris, the exhibition focuses on the period from 1947 to 1957 and offers a captivating insight into the creative process and the mechanics of the Parisian haute couture industry during the 1950s. It examines Dior’s iconic lines, luxury textiles and romantic embroideries that laid the foundation for the fashion house’s global success. Featuring breathtaking fashions from daytime to evening wear for grand occasions, the exhibition invites visitors to discover the exquisite craftsmanship, intricate detail and inspired luxury designs by this key figure from the Golden Age of haute couture.
