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 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.

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.

Opening today at Transition Gallery in Hackney, London, we recommend you to check the Tamsynettes, a series by artist Tamsyn Challenger.
“Tamsyn Challenger broadly concerns herself with the steady march of time upon the body; on her own, on those whom she loves, male and female, and on the desperate ravages inflicted on a woman’s form by the warping of beauty into an ideology, where the natural becomes perverse.
As a documentarian she has born witness to gender violence and the subsequent lives no longer in extant. Inevitably, this colours a palette and she has recently been utilising body parts, actual along with representational, as a visceral reminder of mortality to a detached audience.
Conceptually led, her work toys with the forces of modern popular culture as blind-siding. The nipping and tucking of whatever is at hand to under-pin an image and the passivity of watching to create identity often moves Challenger to reunite fairytale such as The Snow Queen and Snow White with their gruesome roots.
Living up to her name Challenger wants to challenge the viewer to resist the all-pervading post-modern ethic whilst by her own admission being the most post-modern woman she knows.
At Transition Challenger will introduce The Tamsynettes. Forever versions of herself for you to play with.”
Tamsyn Challenger trained at Winchester School of Art and KIAD. She has worked as a collaborative artist with the Magdalena Festival in Barcelona and with Triangle theatre. Her work has been exhibited in the Truman Brewery and Candid Arts in London. She has also produced documentary work for the BBC, ‘My Male Muse’ receiving Radio 4′s ‘Pick of the Year’ accolade. For the past five years she has undertaken a conceptual installation based in portraiture that comes to fruition in November 2010 in Shoreditch Town Hall. This work includes collaborating with over 150 different artists and is a project she conceived of in Mexico that focuses on the murdered women of Juarez

During the last Paris fashion week F/W 2010 (from March, 3rd to March, 10th 2010) we went to meet fashion addicts outside shows and we asked them what was their general style, how they had made up their outfit of the day and what was the key element of they look.
We gathered the most popular look of the moment on one video; do mind a trend for Sarwels and coloured shoes.
And, on another video, students who were already making up their own personnal and very interesting style.
