Ultracontemporary

As a result of a groundswell of global social shifts and technology-driven disruptions, fashion is undergoing fundamental changes across every segment of the industry. Through the generous support of Arizona Costume Institute, Phoenix Art Museum has recently had the opportunity to acquire a selection of current fashion designs that do not only represent excellence in design but are also reflections of the changing cultural ethos of our time. Featuring works by Gucci, Comme des Garçons, Yeohlee and Iris van Herpen among others in a multi-media installation, Ultracontemporary reveals how fashion is responding to an increasingly diverse and fluid global society.
