LOVE IS LOVE
May 27 - October 9, 2017
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is presenting LOVE IS LOVE: WEDDING BLISS FOR ALL À LA JEAN PAUL GAULTIER, an original installation that brings together thirty-five of the French designer’s haute couture and prêt-à-porter bridal creations.
Produced by the MMFA in collaboration with the Maison Jean Paul Gaultier, this exhibition presents wedding gowns and suits created between 1991 and 2017 by Gaultier himself, the renown couturier. The exhibition is curated by Thierry-Maxime Loriot (picture below, on the left) under the direction of Nathalie Bondil (on the right), Director General and Chief Curator of the MMFA.
The exhibition spotlights thirty-seven haute couture and prêt-à-porter pieces, which are imaginative, out of ordinary creations. The central piece at the exhibition is a huge three tier wedding cake installation. Each tier showcases unusual wedding apparel for a wide diversity of couples.
The middle layer has animated figurines, where the all dressed up mannequins appear to come alive, talking, opening and closing their mouths and eyes, and even smiling. They are the animated faces of well known fashion personalities projected onto the faces of mannequins sculpted to those personages' likeness. For instance, on the image just below to the left is the likeness of Jean-Paul Gaultier himself.
This exhibition will especially inspire those who are planning to marry in the newr future.
