new york fashion week artists designers jason wu rauschenberg 1234752761

During New York Fashion Week, Canadian designer Jason Wu unveiled his latest collection in a Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse, but the runway show was preceded by a ten-piece installation of screen prints by American artist Robert Rauschenberg, on loan from the Rauschenberg Foundation. Wu spent months researching the artist's archive, focusing on the little-studied Hoarfrost series, and incorporated image transfers from 1970s newspapers and magazines into his garments. The show also featured other designer-art crossovers, including Proenza Schouler's debut under Rachel Scott at Olney Gleason gallery and Ashlynn Park's presentation at the International Center of Photography alongside works by Iranian artist Sheida Soleimani.

Fashion designer Jason Wu has collaborated with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to create a Spring 2026 collection titled "COLLAGE," inspired by the late artist's work and presented during New York Fashion Week. The collection draws on ten works from the foundation's holdings, including pieces from Rauschenberg's "Hoarfrost" series (1974–76) and "Airport Suite" (1974), with Wu granted rare access to study the artist's use of fabric and collage. The collection will be shown alongside a major Rauschenberg piece on September 14, 2025, and will be available for purchase in February 2026.

The new era of fashion’s art exhibitions

LACMA's upcoming David Geffen Galleries, opening in 2026, will feature over 130 costumes and textiles in its inaugural installations—more than any other time since the museum opened in 1965. The museum also plans exhibitions such as 'Fashioning Chinese Women: Empire to Modernity' (with mannequins by Jason Wu) and 'Fashioning Fashion' (1900–2025). Other major fashion exhibitions include 'Virgil Abloh: The Codes' at Paris's Grand Palais, 'Westwood Kawakubo' at the National Gallery of Victoria, and 'Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art' at London's V&A. The article notes that fashion exhibitions are increasingly popular and profitable for museums, citing the Met's Costume Institute and its record-breaking Met Gala fundraising.
