Titanic & Fashion – The Last Dance

From 27 September, Kunstmuseum Den Haag presents Titanic & Fashion: The Last Dance, curated by our in-house team. Featuring original costumes from the iconic 1997 film of the same name, as well as never-before-seen garments and accessories from the museum’s collection dating from the 1910s, Titanic & Fashion promises to be a very special, immersive journey. Combined with pieces by contemporary designers such as John Galliano for Maison Margiela, Craig Green, Iris van Herpen and Tess van Zalinge, the exhibition shines a light on the dreamy fashions of over a century ago, while also reflecting on the here and now. Because the Titanic period has surprising similarities with our world today: an unbridled confidence in technology, liberation movements, class inequality and waves of migration. A time filled with threats of war, in which we are dancing on the edge of the volcano.
