VONNEGUT WISDOMS

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

So it goes. He left behind not [...]

TRADING STYLE

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

Fashion exhibitions are a difficult feat, even though they are wildly popular in terms of visitor numbers. And yet, clothes behind vitrines somehow mostly miss the point. A slightly different approach is taken by the ethnic Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt, where tonight the exhibition Trading Style will open: presenting not only more than 500 fashion [...]
