The exhibition 'Art & Fashion' at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum explores the intimate relationship between Gulbenkian's art collection and the world of fashion. Through surprising dialogues between historical artifacts—such as Japanese lacquerware, Chinese porcelain, and classical paintings—and contemporary haute couture pieces by designers like Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Guo Pei, the exhibition demonstrates how fashion transcends the ephemeral. Curated by Eloy Martinez de la Prada Celada, the show serves as a laboratory of thought, highlighting how art and fashion share a universal language of beauty, memory, and timelessness.
