Louise Xin: More than couture
Time
June 14 - September 1, 11-17 at Skokloster Castle
Welcome to this summer's exhibition of couture creations by internationally acclaimed fashion designer and artist Louise Xin. An exhibition that combines art and craftsmanship with a passionate commitment to ethical fashion and human rights.
Self-taught Louise Xin - born in China, raised in Sweden and now based in Paris - is showing fourteen of her sumptuous couture creations at Skokloster Castle this summer. The shimmering materials of organza, brocade and silk are an explosion of color, the dresses like colorful, beautiful butterflies. It shows how Louise Xin has been inspired by nature in her art, which has also become her signature.
The exhibition features kimono dresses made from traditional Japanese brocade and fabric flowers made from meter-long vintage organza curtains. Unexpected encounters and a combination of different materials are a strong reflection of the designer's multicultural background.
The exhibition runs from June 14 to September 1, 2024.
