Isaac Mizrahi’s inventive and provocative style advances complex issues within the fashion arena, uniting opposites is Mizrahi’s signature, as his shows were cast with unconventionally beautiful models dressed in Star of David belts, Western-wear infused handmade lace, Adidas sneakers in place of high heels, handbags worn as hats, or humble cotton undershirts paired with floor-length taffeta skirts.

The exhibition at Jewish Museum, An Unruly History is organized thematically, exploring key trends in Mizrahi’s work — from the use of color and prints, to witty designs that touch on issues of race, religion, class, and politics. The core of the exhibition features iconic designs from the Isaac Mizrahi New York clothing label (1987 – 1998), the “semi-couture” collections (2003 – 2011), and the trailblazing line for Target (2002 – 2008).

The show is comprised of approximately 50 “looks” that include clothing, hats, jewelry, shoes, accessories, and costumes for the theater, the opera, and the Mark Morris Dance Group. Also featured are the designer’s original drawings, performance stills, and behind-the-scenes photographs. A bespoke multi-screen video installation showcases a variety of content drawn from film and television cameos and runway shows, as well as from the award-winning documentary Unzipped; the television program.

Over 120 works from more than ninety designers are presented in the first major survey of Australian fashion at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Federation Square.

Since settlement, Australian fashion has been shaped by geographic, seasonal and cultural variants, and defined by colloquial vernacular. In every era, Australian designers have consciously defined the character of how we dress according to local terms of reference. Even today, Australian style can be understood as the by-product of independence and impertinence. From the early dressmaking establishments of Brisbane to the mid-century salons of Collins Street, to the contemporary studios by Bondi’s beaches, 200 Years of Australian Fashion traverses over two centuries of fashion design in Australia.

Staged across four large galleries, it showcases the work of contemporary designers such as Dion Lee, Ellery, Romance Was Born and Toni Maticevski alongside key designs from the past 200 years, including exquisite examples of historic design.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is delighted to be paying homage to an incredible artist both in front and behind the camera, by becoming a partner of Chaplin’s World. The Manufacture, located since 1833 in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland, has an ongoing history with the artist and his family. When he settled in Canton Vaud, the cantonal authorities presented him with a Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox watch, while an association of Swiss journalists gifted him an Atmos clock. These two items testifying to Charlie Chaplin’s heritage will be on display in the Manoir de Ban.

In the heart of Manoir de Ban, Chaplin’s World redraws the last twenty five years of Charlie Chaplin’s life in Switzerland. A Hollywood studio will offer a surprising dumping in the cinema world of Charlot. Dived into alleys or mythical sets, the spectator discovers or rediscovers the masterpieces of Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin’s World will open to public on April 17th, 2016.

The unique copy of “100 years” travels the world in an incredible safe which will open automatically in 100 years. Starring John Malkovich and directed by Robert Rodriguez, the movie is held in a special safe that will open automatically on November18, 2115.

On November 18, 2015, inspired by the century of careful attention and patience it takes to create each decanter of LOUIS XIII cognac, the brand announced an original film written by John Malkovich, which envisions earth one hundred years in the future and will not be released until 2115.

“To be true to the concept we had to find a way to make sure that no one will see the movie before 2115, that’s why we created a very special safe, which is the crucial part of the whole idea” said Ludovic du Plessis, Global Executive Director of LOUIS XIII. The safe in which the one and only copy of the film is in, has been created in partnership with the world-leader in secure storage: Fichet-Bauche.

To reach 100 years Fichet-Bauche pushed the limits of technology and spent hundreds hours of Beta testing. Moreover, the safe will open automatically regardless of access to a power source, further guaranteeing that there is no way that the film can be accessed prior to 2115.
“LOUIS XII safe is the ambassador of our concept and will travel from L.A to Tokyo through Hong-Kong, London, Dubai and others cities before coming back to LOUIS XIII cellars in Cognac, for a century”, concludes Ludovic du Plessis.
