Bernice Bing

A San Francisco native, Chinese American, artist, lesbian, community activist—Bernice Bing, was a bridge between many worlds. She came of age during the Beat era and entered the San Francisco arts landscape in the 1960s with her paintings, which synthesize abstract modernist painting with Chinese calligraphy.

Fans of Belgian avant-garde fashion, Russian style and great book design, unite! This exceedingly seductive volume documents Katharina Prospekt: The Russians, a tour de force exhibition put together by the innovative Belgian fashion house, A.F. Vandevorst, of Russian cultural artifacts borrowed from the State Historical Museum in Moscow, coupled with contemporary fashion designs by A.F. Vandevorst and others–including Yves Saint Laurent, Bless, Martin Margiela and Jean-Paul Gaultier. There are sections on Propaganda, Military Design, Fur, Chess and even the iconic Russian dolls that fit one inside another. The bold typography riffs on Constructivist design, and we see antique objects, artifacts, textiles and costumes alongside vintage photographs and eye-popping contemporary fashion design.

The Fashion Museum of the province of Antwerp (MoMu) has invited the team of designers of A.F. Vandevorst to create an exhibition within the context of Europalia Russia. In “Katharina Prospekt”, An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx show us their vision of Russia based on the universe of A.F. Vandevorst. The colour red, military uniforms, and religious costumes, but also materials such as leather, fur, and felt are, indeed, important sources of inspiration in their own collections of clothing. These are the elements which guided the two designers in their selection of objects and costumes from the collection of the Museum of History of Moscow.
