Yeohlee: Design For Now

Start date: Saturday, October 3, 2009
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, January 3, 2010

This is the first major exhibition in Dallas about the work of Yeohlee, whose name is synonymous with design innovation and artistic integrity. Yeohlee’s work has been exhibited at museums in New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Berlin and Washington D.C.

Yeohlee: Design for Now will feature selected fashion designs and concepts from Yeohlee’s 2004–2009 collections. The focus will be on the evolution of her approach to design, which closely parallels architectural concerns but is ultimately attentive to the body. The exhibition explores four primary themes: Urban Nomad, Made in New York, Fluid Geometry, and Zero Waste. These concepts illustrate the artist’s thought process as one collection gives way to the next. This exhibition will be in the Mezzanine gallery and inside The Skybridge.

This exhibition is curated by Myra Walker, Director and Curator of the Texas Fashion Collection, College of Visual Arts and Design at the University of North Texas.
