Oh la la. ‘The Power of Fashion in the Roman Empire’ at Glyptoteket in Copenhagen. Had no idea what to expect. I was intrigued. I loved how it made me look at sculptures anew, with attention to clothing, jewellery, footwear and symbolism. With lots of good examples throughout. I think my main issue was that they used a lot of space for few items. Kinda feel the exhibition could have been half the size and still make the same impact. But… it was vibrant, seductive, and definitely SoMe friendly. It was refreshing to get the fashion perspective on sculptures. I liked it a lot. 💫 Curator is Cecilie Brøns.
Bonus: Intervention in the grand hall by three young fashion designers. And an always-welcome reunion with Degas’ little dancer, now with a brand new tutu 🩰
