Versace at the Groninger Museum a Retrospective

Posted on 18/02/2023 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Versace at the Groninger Museum

Versace at the Groninger Museum, or in the full, official tiitle of the exhibition: Gianni Versace Retrospective. We, Mimi Berlin Blogger Team, visited the Groninger Museum and that’s what we want to share with you today. Just because we can!

As you may well know, Versace was a very HOT brand in the 1980s and 1990s, Gianni Versace truly celebrated it’s heydays at that time. Supermodels, vivid colors, bold prints, gold, sex and Greek mythology are things we associate with Versace. And you probably do too!

The Versace retrospective shows us clothes, scarves, jewelry, magazines, fashion shows, sketches, books etc. all dating specifically from 1989 to1997.
Paris based Agence NC designed the exhibition and divided everything in themes such as pop, bondage and so on. We won’t elaborate too much on the show itself any further, because it is always best to go see it for yourself! But, we do want to share our images!
You’re Welcome

Family Affair

Gianni Versace (1946–1997) started out as a freelance designer for several Italian fashion companies like Complice, Genny and Callaghan, he later became the head designer at Byblos. Around 1978 Gianni and his siblings Santos and Donatella founded Gianni Versace SpA. Santos was the CEO (untill 2002) and Donatella was responsibale for marketing and later on for designing the accessories and the Versus line. Gianni V. met his partner Antonio D’amico (1959-2002) in 1982, Antonio then joined the compapy as fashion designer for Versace Sport …..(It’s a family affair guys, a very sad one, but that’s an other story)
Versace’s boss-chief today is Donatella. Santos is probably retired. Gianni and Antonio are dead.

The exhibition is open untill the 7th of May 2023

The exhibition is not official nor authorised or linked to Gianni Versace S.r.l. and/or to the Versace family.

The exhibition is realised in collaboration with the leading private collectors of the work of Gianni Versace: Antonio Caravano (with Sabina Albano as collection curator), as well as Salvatore Alderuccio and Franco Jacassi.

Exhibition Salon 2022|2023 30+ artists Opening at What art Can Do Gallery in Amsterdam

Together with 30+ artists we, at Mimi Berlin, have work (2 statuettes from the Powderbox Girls series) on show at The Salon 22/23 in gallery/project space What Art Can Do in Amsterdam. We went to the opening and took some pictures for yous who couldn’t be there. Your Welcome! As you can see in the photo’s; the place was so packed and humid that we ended up with not one good picture of the actual work. But, and as we, at Mimi Belin, always state.
If you want to see the art on show it’s best to visit and see it for yourself. We suggest that you do so because, in our opinion this exhibition is special; it shows the most diversity we’ve ever seen in a small space and that is super-fun! Thanks to Simone Swildens who invited us to join. xoxo Mimi Berlin

Framed Brooches Mimi Berlin Bijoux 2022 frame or wear the brooch it’s your your choice!

The Framed Brooches by Mimi Berlin Bijoux are artworks made with carefully selected and matched pages of vintage Vogue magazines and vintage (costume) jewelry.

Frame or wear these brooches: it’s your choice!

In order to keep the past of fashion in general alive, to preserve it and comment on it we, Mimi Berlin and Friperie Jansen, decided to partner up. Friperie Jansen is a seller of second hand fashion and the owner of an extensive collection of vintage (costume) jewelry, amongst many other collections.

We created little time capsules, or 3D collages, by combining our vintage treasures (jewelry and photo’s) in a storytelling way. The photo’s are laminated with a coating in 250micron with matte finish. Almost invisible, small punched holes keep the brooches in place.
