Valentino Retrospective Sweeps into Australia (ARTINFO)

ARTINFO – With Fashion Week fast approaching, a grateful look to the golden age of couture, when clothing design approached the realm of art, seems to be merited. Thankfully, it is readily available at the Brisbane’s Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, which is hosting “Valentino, Retrospective: Past/Present/Future” until November 14. Developed by curator Pamela Golbin from the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the show highlights 100 ensembles, celebrating the past half-century of garb by the Italian fashion house.
