The exhibition will feature groundbreaking designs by Rudi Gernreich, Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe, Thierry Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Gianni Versace and other avant-garde fashion designers. 'Body Unbound' will explore how these designers used modern construction and unexpected materials to contort, conceal, reveal or mock their wearers.
