Alexander Julian Retrospective
Uncommon Threads
This month-long exhibit is an entertaining, artistically approached,
in-depth analysis of 30 years of designer Alexander Julian's innovative
contributions in men's and women's fashion and home furnishings.
Playful installations illuminate Julian's textile design process.
His innovative slant on form, color, pattern and scale will be
highlighted throughout the exhibition.
The Retrospective will include historical installations of signature
design motifs and a spectrum of examples of the diversity of original
color and pattern work in clothing, textiles and furniture. Also
included are historic sports uniforms and original costumes from the
Robert Altman film, The Player.
Listening to Color, a short film by screenwriter Alex Rose, spans three
decades of Julian's style. Original music score composed by jazz
pianist Eric Lewis.
For the past three decades, Alexander Julian has made an indelible mark
on the creative landscape, utilizing his distinctive flair for opulent
textures, superior craftsmanship and marvelous color. A five-time Coty
award winner and youngest inductee to the Fashion Hall of Fame,
Julian's textile designs are in the Smithsonian National Design
Museum's Permanent Collection.
