‘More is more, kitsch is king, sex is in and shyness is sin’ – last chance to visit “The Vulgar” exhibition at Barbican Art Gallery in London.
It’s really the last chance to see one of the most interesting fashion exhibition of 2016. Including work from Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Malcolm McLaren, Moschino and Gucci, “The Vulgar” gives bad taste a platform.
Hats with stuffed birds, dresses four metres wide, everything from weird, old wigs to manuscripts, textiles, costumes and hotographs will make you question the meaning of vulgarity. What was once the height of rudeness appears today to be entirely tasteful. Maybe vulgarity does not exist? Go and see. It’s so bad, it’s good.
The exhibition is open at Barbican Centre only till 05 February. You will find ore information here.
