A decade ago, a collection of 35mm slides from the 80s and 90s capturing New York fashion would be rediscovered by set designer Gaetane Bertol. With relentless research, she understood the value of the contents to be a treasure to share with the world. In 2008, the untimely fire of fashion journalist Yuriko Tomita’s NYC apartment, birthed an opportunity for Tzili Charney. She decided to curate a photographic exhibition alongside of fashion historian Ya’ara Keydar.
Before the launch of NYFW, 360 Magazine visited ZAZ10z for a preview of the exhibition. The installation is presented in the foyer of the iconic building which once served as home to some of the most prestigious designers in America (Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs). The exhibition is free and open to the public from September 5, 2019 until January 20, 2020. It showcases runway images of the youthful fashionistas and supermodels of the era: Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. Enjoy the interactive art in real-time as you impart on design history and culture.
