Exhibition 'Ode to Dutch Fashion' in Kunstmuseum Den Haag
Famous names like Viktor & Rolf, Iris van Herpen and Jan Taminiau have placed the Netherlands firmly on the map as a country of idiosyncratic fashion talent. These and other Dutch designers attract international praise. High time, therefore, for an Ode to Dutch Fashion at Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, which has one of the most important fashion collections in the world. Never before has such a major exhibition showcasing the history of Dutch fashion been presented in the Netherlands.
Anyone who saw King Willem-Alexander’s coronation cannot fail to recall the dazzling blue creation – a Jan Taminiau design – worn by Queen Máxima. The Netherlands is home to a huge amount of creativity, and this has certainly not gone unnoticed abroad. Designers with their own strong signature have been particularly successful at rising above the crowd and gaining a strong reputation. Gemeentemuseum Den Haag is proud to present a well-deserved Ode to these designers this autumn, and to show how fashion has developed in this country since 1900.
