“It’s a gull’s head that’s been coated in silicone,” explains Andrew Bolton, the 49-year-old British-born curator in charge of the Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is examining a dress by Dutch designer Iris van Herpen, a wild whip of silicone fringing frozen in motion, the gull skulls caught as if attempting to fly. The dress will appear in the Costume Institute’s new show Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, opening next week.
“这就是涂了硅酮料的海鸥头。”49岁的英国人安德鲁•波顿(Andrew Bolton)解释道，他是纽约大都会艺术博物馆服装学院(Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art)院长。他正仔细看着荷兰设计师艾里斯•范•荷本(Iris van Herpen)设计的一款裙子，这件散射状硅酮海鸥头凝固的运动瞬间，做出一飞冲天的模样。这件裙子会在“手工x机械展：科技时代的时装展(Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”)上展出。
