Warra [2011-05-20]
The CATWALKS exhibition will open its doors to the public at the NRW-Forum Kultur und Wirtschaft, Düsseldorf, on 25 July 2009.
Come and experience the most talked-about top designer catwalk shows of recent years! Spectacular shows reminiscent of vintage Dior, Galliano-style circus performances, dramatic productions of the kind put on by Alexander McQueen, conceptional performances like those by Hussein Chalayan, catwalks in the form of tables set for spectacular dinners such as the ones used by Dries van Noten … exhibition visitors will become models in these shows, which will be brought to life and transformed into 3D spectacles in video projections and multimedia installations.
The partners of this exhibition are German Vogue and Alex de Betak, one of the greatest directors in the fashion show business and a man who has worked for highly influential fashion labels such as Louis Vuitton, Gaultier, Dior, and more. The exhibition is sponsored by Nokia, Schwarzkopf and the CPD. We are kicking off the countdown with a short film made exclusively for us by Mario Testino, who visited the Dolce + Gabbana spring/summer collection fashion show during Milan Fashion Week.
