Tongue in Chic
May 31, 2024 – September 15, 2024
The exclusivity of high fashion and the familiarity of everyday life merge in the work of Texan designer Todd Oldham (b.1961). Through Oldham’s trademark wit and commitment to craft, the images and items around us transform into unexpected delights. Conservative paisley neckties and plaid picnic blankets become wearable works of art, and travel magazines and Lite Brite toys serve as sources of inspiration. Through this creative alchemy, Oldham reminds us to celebrate the world around us and delight in the everyday.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Texas Fashion Collection, an archive at the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design.
