WHY: Curated by the art director Maarten Spruyt, this thematic show examines the clothes of menswear designers from the 17th century to the present day. The show focuses on the idea of men “dressing to impress” and details the change from men’s clothes being functional to being a representation of personality. The show features pieces worn by President Mitterrand of France, the first menswear to be worn by a woman in public and designs by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood and Walter von Beirendonck. The show also features fashion photographs by Oof Versc.
