A joyful polka-dotted pumpkin twirls in place, as if caught it mid-dance and told to never stop smiling.

Kawakubo at NGV - A dramatic sculptural garment displayed on a stand in a dimly lit gallery. The piece is an oversized, voluminous cocoon-shaped coat or cape constructed from layers of heavily ruched and gathered fabric in warm tones of gold, bronze, and blush pink. Printed across the fabric are photographic reproductions of portrait faces from what appear to be Old Master paintings — soft-featured, pale-complexioned figures including children and young women. A small red leather collar or belt detail is visible at the neckline. In the background to the left, a dark dramatic gown hangs in shadow.
A boldly coloured sculptural jacket or coat displayed on a stand in a gallery setting. The garment is constructed from vibrant floral-print fabric in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and touches of blue and green, featuring large poppy-like blooms. The silhouette is dramatically oversized, with heavily ruched and gathered fabric creating a textured, ruffled effect across the sleeves and body. The interior lining is a vivid solid red. In the background, a mirrored or glass panel reflects another similarly styled garment.

Greyish walls with greyish chain art and a black paste-up 2014 quote from fashion designer Vivienne Westwood saying, "I liked being me, and I happened to be a girl. I wanted to be a hero and saw no reason why a girl couldn't be one."

Saw the Vivienne Westwood / Kawakubo exhibition today. It always amazes me what they can do with these spaces. #ngv #westwood #kawakubo

She studies the details in stillness, letting Westwood and Kawakubo’s bold ideas whisper their secrets.

Shadows slip and sway through the watery glass, playing hide-and-seek with the light like shy little secrets of the city.

Imho Vivienne Westwood designs are overwhelmingly better than Rei Kawakubo.
Or, is it that the NGV showed only the excessive, over-the-top art pieces of Kawakubo?
Most of the pieces were functionally unwearable. That’s not necessarily true of Comme de Garçons. Is it?

Definitely not to be missed
‘They have shown us the power of fashion to protest orthodoxy and well as its capacity to liberate us from convention’

#Melbourne folks, best to avoid #NGV and Arts Centre, as police have shut down the area. Time to reopen as yet unknown.

Painted in Paris on October 18, 1937, this work is a “postscript” to "Guernica," Spanish artist Pablo Picasso’s response to the Spanish Civil War and the bombing of the Basque town of Gernika on April 26, 1937. The motif shifts from a mother screaming with her dead child in Guernica to a witness consumed by inconsolable mourning. A fractured bust-length portrait of a woman fills the frame, her head turned slightly left as if caught mid-sob. She grips a white handkerchief between splayed fingers as serrated teeth bite the cloth while tears streak like glassy wedges across her cheeks. Planes of acidic green and purple divide her face and a black coiffure and bow clamp the skull, and a narrow grey band behind her casts a hard shadow that boxes her in. The nose is cleaved into facets; the eyes are saucer-wide and off-axis, perched above the handkerchief’s peaks. Lines saw across blouse and collar, compressing fabric into shards. The palette of citrus yellows, teal, crimson, and black refuses mournful tones, intensifying the dissonance between brilliant color and unbearable grief. Every contour feels sharp to the touch including the claustrophobic strip of wall which makes the room ... and the sorrow ... tighten around her. The model was likely photographer, Surrealist, and Picasso’s companion Dora Maar who documented the making of Guernica and became central to his late-1937 portraiture. Grief is constructed rather than sentimental so the hard geometry of fingers, teeth, and handkerchief turns weeping into architecture. This NGV version lacks the elaborate hat of Picasso's later "Weeping Woman" at the Tate museum, heightening its directness; the tight interior and cast shadow add a sense of confinement, echoing the war’s crushing pressure. Brilliant, “wrong” colors push against tragedy as beauty is made to bear witness to catastrophe and making political horror intimate and enduring.

Two decades? seriously?
“After two decades of rejecting the claim, the NGV has now returned Lady with a Fan, by the 17th century Dutch master Gerard ter Borch, to the descendants of Henry and Bertha Bromberg”
