From 15th June until 30th November, the Groninger Museum presents Marga Weimans’ first complete solo exhibition. Born in 1970 in Rotterdam, Weimans is one of the most striking designers today. The museum has been following Weimans since graduating and has gradually collected pieces, while systematically exhibiting small shows. This exhibition is an overview of both her early and recent work.

Weimans was the first Dutch person to graduate from the The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Her graduation collection won the i-D Styling Award and she has been a regular at Amsterdam Fashion Week ever since.

The Groninger Museum has works form her collections Debut (2006) and Wonderland (2009). Debut is all about views and consists of bulky black dresses which form a mountain landscape. Wonderland is inspired on the contrast between dream and reality. Weimans develops diverse themes, which are often linked to identity, technology and beauty. Her striking outfits combine pure handcraft and high-tech.

Visit the Groninger Museum from 15th June until 30th November to get an insight in Marga Weimans’ fashion philosophy.
