ART, DESIRE & FASHION
Fashion and art collide as Kildare Village becomes the first ever fashion brand to partner with IMMA as the title sponsor on their newest exhibition, Desire: A Revision from the 20th Century to the Digital Age.
IMMA COMES TO KILDARE
This autumn, IMMA pops up in Kildare Village with a temporary IMMA gift shop offering limited edition prints, fine art catalogues, including the Desire catalogue, plus lots of other esoteric, interesting gift ideas.
JOIN THE CONVERSATION
On September 25, a live recording of IMAGE and Kildare Village’s fashion podcast, Smart Casual, will take place in IMMA, hosted by fashion director Marie Kelly
in conversation with Rachel Thomas, senior curator at IMMA and co-curator of the Desire exhibition.
DESIRE & KILDARE VILLAGE
Spanning almost 100 years, Desire: A Revision from the 20th Century to the Digital Age
follows the development of desire through the lens of the Eurocentric male gaze. Artists
