Matthew Barney 'Cremaster Cycle' cap, c. 2002 Guggenheim Museum

About the Item

A Matthew Barney Cremaster Cycle cap, circa 2002. This incredibly rare hat was made in a limited edition for The Cremaster Cycle (1994-2002) exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum. It prominently features the artist's iconic insignia named the 'Field Emblem' on the front of the cap. This symbol—an ellipse with a horizontal line bisecting it—is recurring in all five films and represents the artist's notion of self-imposed restraint over an organic system. Embroidered on the backside is the exhibition title alongside the museum—a detail that holds particular significance as this exhibit marked the final culmination of the 8 year series. Due to the scarcity and high quality of Barney's merchandise, this hat is truly an extraordinary find.

  • John Galliano 'Blanche Dubois' skirt ensemble, ss 1988
    By John Galliano
    Located in Melbourne, AU
    This John Galliano runway ensemble from Spring-Summer 1988 ‘Blanche Dubois’ combines two main themes from the collection: the bow and polonaise skirt. The bodice is made of cotton with rigilene boning and features a large frontal bow, the hero style of the collection. The bow not only serves as a design element but also allows the wearer to rest their arms inside the bow loops, creating a distinctive silhouette. This was worn in the opening look of the show and was also depicted in the backdrop of the runway in an illustrated portrait of Marlene Dietrich. The skirt is comprised of a high-waisted boned mid-section with a corresponding belt, and a draped navy gabardine skirt. Inspired by the robe à la polonaise of 18th century France, the skirt features a ‘Blown Away’ hem which is caught into a band with button holes. This allows for customisable polonaise folds and drapes by buttoning the hem to the underside of the garment at different heights. This unique and customisable element of the garment, along with the movement of the drapes when worn, showcases Galliano’s romantic design sensibility. The exceptional design and construction of this John Galliano ‘Blanche...
