The auction sale of the art collection Pierre Bergé / Yves Saint Laurent was held in the Nave of the Grand Palais in 2009. Now, in 2010, the Petit Palais will pay homage to the designer by hosting a retrospective of his works.

Exhibition: from March 11 (10am to 6pm, closed on Monday)

Somerset House is proud to host Maison Martin Margiela ‘20’ The Exhibition, a major exhibition
celebrating 20 years of one of contemporary fashion’s most influential and enigmatic designers.

Martin Margiela formerly worked as design assistant to Jean Paul Gaultier before showing his first collection under his own label in 1988. Employing a ‘deconstructivist’ approach, Margiela displayed a radically new visual language that diametrically opposed the power dressing of the 1980s.

Two decades on and Margiela is widely regarded as one of the reigning luminaries of the current fashion scene, inspiring some of the world’s most important talents such as Marc Jacobs and Prada.

Conceived in close collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela and curated by the Mode Museum, Antwerp, this exciting show makes its London debut following critical acclaim at Antwerp and Haus der Kunst, Munich last year. This ambitious, multi-layered show captures Margiela’s unique aesthetic and vision spanning the past 20 years, by incorporating installations, photography, video and film.

This exhibition was initiated by the Fashion Museum Province of Antwerp and Maison Martin Margiela.

The book design is based on the show’s main poster, which contains every image in the book. Each page of the book, then, is a zoom-in on the poster. We’ve also designed a series of six billboards, featured throughout the city, that are as much an extension of the exhibition as advertisements for it. Base Partner Dimitri Jeurissen has acted as a creative consultant on the project, working directly with Hannelore on the curation of the show and overseeing the design of all materials.

Presented across three floors, UltraMegaLore brings together thousands of images as well as memorabilia from Hannelore’s personal life. Featured on the first floor are designers Azzedine Alaia, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Haider Ackermann, all of whom were central to Hannelore’s rise. The second floor presents Hannelore through the lenses of photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Juergen Teller, Serge Leblon, Craig McDean, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, and Steven Klein. A mix of materials and media from across Hannelore’s career are displayed on the third floor, an attic, including video footage, mementos, and more.
UltraMegaLore is open at ModeMuseum Hasselt from March 27 through June 6.

The book is a commemorative retrospective of Pierre Cardin through 176 pages and 150 photographies. From his birth in 1922 to his involvement for Dior, to the creation of his own fashion house, this tribute relates Pierre Cardin’s work and life and his contribution to the world of couture and fashion.

The volume is directed by Jean-Pascal Hesse, who holds a degree in history and has been Director of Communications at the Cardin fashion house for close to 15 years.
