The Art of Fashion Group Exhibition

October 3, 2025 - November 3, 2025

KARL is pleased to announce The Art of Fashion, opening October 3, 2025, with a live fashion show featuring Tony award winning and acclaimed designer Brandin Vaughn, known for dressing some of the biggest names in entertainment— such as Beyoncé in her historic Cowboy Carter and Renaissance Tours.

This collaborative exhibition continues KARL’s mission to dissolve the boundaries between disciplines, this time highlighting artists and designers working across mixed media, textiles, and fabric-based practices—materials and modes historically dismissed as craft but now decisively re-evaluated within the canon of contemporary fine art.

From quilting and garment construction to assemblage and soft sculpture, The Art of Fashion asks: what is fashion if not sculpture worn? What is fiber if not form? What happens when the seam becomes a gesture, the pattern a conceptual strategy?
