Jean Paul Gaultier – From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at Fundación Mapfre in Madrid

29 June 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In Exhibitions, Fashion

I can barely believe it! The news has been confirmed! In 2012 (yes, it’s still a long way to go) the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition – From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, currently in Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts, will be in Madrid’s Fundación Mapfre. I double-checked with MMFA’s press office and they very kindly reconfirmed the news. Upon talking with Fundación Mapfre, they were quite tight-lipped, but they did say there will be a Yves Saint Laurent exhibition opening soon. I wonder which exhibition it will be, as there have been several different ones over the years.

20 Trajes (finally) in Barcelona

As the fashion world slithers it’s sneaky tentacles into ever-broadening areas, (sometimes with good results, other times, well…), literature seemed to be safe and off the radar due to it’s passé demeanour, much too low-key for the flash and dazzle of seasonal trends. So could it even be possible to join the two areas? This is not about books written about fashion, this is fashion inspired by books.
