Curator Jackie Yoong said that when she traveled to Paris to cull favorites from Gn’s archive numbering some 10,000 runway pieces accrued over 85 collections she took some cues from last year’s “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” exhibition at the MET, gleaning direction from Andrew Bolton’s curation. “Fashion is about society and culture at a given point in time. We’re not inventing new histories, it’s about telling stories in 3D,” she said. “I saw parallels between the two [shows] because while American style is a lot more familiar thanks to Hollywood and how you see people dress, both nations are made up of immigrants from very diverse communities. Andrew’;s is a small but significant label that shows a different way into fashion. I think he expresses himself from a place of understanding: there’s no need to associate ‘home’ with a single location, and the magic of his touch is that he makes it all wearable.”
