This stunning exhibition of fashion design by Paris-trained, Ottawa-based Richard Robinson, Fashion Designer, Couturier and leader of the Richard Robinson Academy of Fashion Design puts a Canadian designer in the cultural spotlight. The Art Gallery of Hamilton will display Robinson’s more dramatic garb, including clothes inspired by fantasy and the future that challenge the imagination and blur the line between fashion and art. The exhibition will showcase Robinson’s famous breast-plate bejewelled cat suit and a dress accented with silk flowers, as well as a number of sketches that examine the design process from concept to reality. On September 20th, the AGH hosted a fashion show of Robinson’s designs to launch the exhibition.
