Alex de Betak, founder of the production company behind many of fashion’s most talked-about shows, has stepped into the art world. This week he opened his first solo exhibition as an artist, a collection of truss light sculptures at Salon 94 Design in New York, a departure from the fashion shows that made his name.
Fashion spectacle has always been about more than clothes, and de Betak’s move into sculpture echoes staged runway art. Dancers Unveil an Issey Miyake Collection on Tate Modern’s Floor shows how performance can turn a fashion showcase into art.
De Betak left Bureau Betak a few years ago. The company has kept up its fashion show production work in that time, staging large-scale fashion spectacles often built around smoke, mirrors and natural settings. Here are five of its recent productions that drew attention.
