Captivate! “The 1990s was a watershed period that upturned ideals of beauty and fashion. Campaigns became a valued part of visual culture and fashion photography was an ‘idealising vision’ and a new, democratic art form. And the fashion! Wearing a Chanel jacket with vintage jeans, body con Alaïa dresses and sneakers, Marc Jacobs’ grunge, or a Helmut Lang suit - it was a high/low mix that was individual, fun and cool. Above all, there was innovation and experimentation. That’s hard to beat and it really resonates with now when so many young creatives are collaborating and doing things - building from the ground up.” - Claudia Schiffer, Model, Producer, Curator ‘Captivate!’. Claudia Schiffer helped shape the years that gave us grunge and glamour, by assuming the guises of “Baby Bardot” for Guess Jeans and bombshell for ‘Versace’, among many other memorable roles. Now she’s turned her insider’s eye to the curation of ‘Captivate!’ an exhibition at the ‘Kunstpalast' in Düsseldorf with an accompanying coffee-table book (‘Prestel') which considers the art of 1990s photography in all formats - from test Polaroid to museum-quality print - and from many angles. Schiffer brought her experience as a model, collector and movie producer, along with much heart, to this project. ‘Captivate!’ is on view at ‘Kunstpalast’, Düsseldorf, September 15, 2021 - January 9, 2022.
