, reinterpreted the draped goddess look for the 2020s. Anatomy and skin were focus points throughout a season that seemed singularly focused on the reveal aspect of fashion. There were exceptions, veiling was seen in the collections of Vaquera and Melitta Baumeister, but no one did “conceal” as dramatically as Demna Gvasalia for Balenciaga. Both the designer and Kim Kardashian West went “incognito” to public events in head-to-toe black.
In their work, Christo and Jean-Claude reframed the familiar, and took art out of the frame and the museum. In light of the spring season, I was especially fascinated to learn that the first monument Christo ever wrapped was a classic sculpture in Rome’s Villa Borghese. Adorned in plastic secured with string, the sculpture took on, what the artist described as “the loving form of mystery.”
Right now, the reveal/conceal binary in fashion is tipped exponentially—or should that be reductively?—towards exposure. Maybe it’s time to redress the balance and leave something to the imagination.
