Feature | Catalogue »Modebilder – Kunstkleider«

I am very happy about my specimen copy of the opulent catalog for the exhibition »Modebilder – Kunstkleider« at the Berlinischen Galerie, for which my former costume history lecturer Dr. Gundula Wolter wrote a very exciting article about Vivienne Westwood’s fashion class at the Berlin University of the Arts, and where I found unexpectedly many and full-page pictures of the huntresses from my diploma collection »Jagdfieber«, which I created there!

Of course, I particularly enjoyed the contribution of Dr. Gundula Wolter, who vividly reminded me of an amazing time, and of everything I learned from her and Vivienne Westwood (and still apply, albeit usually in a completely different field!), but I also found the rest of this catalog highly interesting, very readable – and also, recommendable!

There will also be a highly interesting event on May 19, 2022 at 7 pm on the topic »Knowledge creates fashion. Vivienne Westwood as a professor in Berlin 1994-2006«. The conversation between Annelie Lütgens and Gundula Wolter is about Westwood’s training concept, and film excerpts from the fashion class’ defilées are shown.
