Come to the free introductory tour of the exhibition Fong-Leng & Fans - 60 Years of Fashion & Fame on Saturday, January 10. This exhibition highlights the influence and significance of the colorful, multidisciplinary fashion designer and artist Fong-Leng. For 60 years, she has been a unique player in the Dutch fashion and design world, inspiring young creators to this day.
Fong-Leng (1937) is famous both at home and abroad for her flamboyant designs: dresses and coats made of leather, silk, and fur with appliqués of exotic animals and plants. She made her breakthrough in the 1970s with her extravagant creations, which were worn by celebrities such as Mathilde Willink and singer Kate Bush. Her idiosyncratic work and personality have attracted a large following of fans and remain a source of inspiration, even 60 years later. In this exhibition, Museum JAN gives these admirers a platform to showcase the power and uniqueness of her work and her position in the Dutch fashion landscape.
