If you love Kylie Minogue, fashion and good design, make sure you don’t miss Geelong Gallery this summer.
Kylie on Stage, an exhibition celebrating magical moments from Kylie Minogue’s highly successful concert tours, will open at Geelong Gallery on 10 December as part of the exhibition’s regional tour.
“I’m excited for fans to get up close and personal with my costumes and get a glimpse behind the curtain to see some of the design process,” Kylie said.
The free exhibition is drawn from Kylie’s spectacular stage wardrobe held at Arts Centre Melbourne’s Australian Performing Arts Collection and features costumes from tours dating back to 1989 as well as more recent tours such as Kylie Aphrodite les Follies in 2011.
Featured designers within the world-first exhibition include Dolce and Gabbana, John Galliano, Julien Macdonald, Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier as well as local designers including Peter Morrissey and Mark Burnett.
Tours featured in the exhibition include Disco in Dreams (1989); Enjoy Yourself (1990); Rhythm of Love (1991); Intimate and Live (1998); On a Night Like This (2001); Kylie Fever (2003); Kylie Showgirl (2005); Kylie Homecoming (2006); Kylie X2008 (2008); Kylie Aphrodite les Follies (2011) and Kylie Kiss Me Once (2015).
Geelong Gallery Director and CEO Jason Smith said the gallery was genuinely excited to present Kylie on Stage this summer.
“We expect to welcome thousands of people to view the truly extraordinary design and artistry involved in the making of Kylie’s costumes. The Gallery has a strong commitment to diverse art forms, including a close relationship with the performing arts through our cultural precinct neighbour, the Geelong Performing Arts Centre.
“We are thrilled to be introducing Kylie’s wardrobe to the region. It is a stunning collection.”
Kylie on Stage will run 10 December 2017 to 4 March 2018. #kylieonstage
