TAILOR newsletter preview: Rick Owens retrospective, Paul Poiret show, and Antwerp Six at MoMu

The upcoming edition of TAILOR, Artribune's newsletter on fashion culture, highlights several intersections of fashion and art. A major retrospective of Rick Owens opens in Paris, curated by the designer himself, transforming the museum into a brutalist sanctuary with cement sculptures and shimmering fabrics. At the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, 'Paul Poiret. Fashion is a Feast' is the first monograph on the couturier who liberated women from corsets, featuring over 550 works. The 2025 Art Nouveau Week adopts the butterfly as its theme, symbolizing transformation, with events across Europe. In Antwerp, MoMu presents a retrospective on the Antwerp Six—Martin Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, and others—who revolutionized fashion in the 1980s. In Milan, a special fashion show by Antonio Marras for We Breast dressed healthcare workers in a gesture of collective beauty. The newsletter also features an interview with artist Nilufer Yildirim for HIGH The Journal. TAILOR is curated by Alessia Caliendo, Margherita Cuccia, and Giulio Solfrizzi.
