Pop and glamour, this exhibition explores the relationships between these two worlds: the cross-influences, the staging of elegance and the fashion world in comic strips, the collaborations of comic artists with catalogues or fashion magazines.
Based on the collection of the Angoulême comic art museum as well as on loans from public or private collections, it brings together nearly 200 pieces, mainly original strips and illustrations but also clothing and fashion accessories, perfumes, printed archives and films.
Immersive and playful, the exhibition will explore manga’s global appeal and cultural crossover, showcasing original Japanese manga and its influence across the globe, from anime to ‘cosplay’ dressing up.
This influential art form entertains, inspires and challenges – and is brought to life like never before in this ground-breaking exhibition.
