Things were divided into 111 types: a little black dress, a bikini, aviator glasses, a pencil skirt, a leather jacket, a baseball cap and much more. Many of the exhibitors marked the beginning of a new era or turned into integral elements of a basic wardrobe.

Curators Paola Antonelli and Michel Miller Fisher boldly combine high-quality and everyday: couture works Comme des Garçons with balaclava and shorts. Five photographers were honored to be represented in the museum catalog: Catherine Lozing, Christine-Lee Mulman, Omar Victor Diop, Bobby Doherty and Monica Mogi - each was given eight pages and an equal share of items for filming.

“The only rule was that we had to cover every point of the exhibition,” says Lozing, who worked with designer Anna Lomax, “The idea of ​​the curators: the photographer takes a list of things and creates it in his own style with his ideas.”
