Curated by LACMA's Sharon S. Takeda and Kaye D. Spilker, Breaking the Mode illustrates how designers of the 1980s and 1990s rebelled against the principles that ruled 1950s high fashion. It examines radical ideas introduced in four areas of contemporary fashion: construction, materials, form, and concepts. Breaking the Mode opens at the Indianapolis Museum of Art on March 16, 2008, and remains on view through June 1, 2008. The exhibition features designers Azzedine Alaïa, Hussein Chalayan, James Galanos, Rei Kawakubo, Christian Lacroix, Hervé Léger, Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake, Franco Moschino, Thierry Mugler, Junya Watanabe, Vivienne Westwood, and Yohji Yamamoto, among many others.

What were they thinking!
What a crazy collection of apparel design! Some really eccentric work to some sophisticated and understated. Glad I went late at night with friends. more fun to kibutz that way. You've got to go just to see the oddities and smile at the influences some of these pieces have had on fashion.
