Since 1999, when he premiered his first collection of clothes in Paris, Bernhard Willhelm has been “moving in-between chaos and diversity.” He and his team, headed by long-term collaborator Jutta Kraus, recently decamped from their Parisian atelier and relocated to Los Angeles. Bernhard Willhelm 3000 at MOCA Pacific Design Center functions as a sculptural installation with a fashion sensibility and includes video, photography, and displays of objects selected by Willhelm. Described by Willhelm as a meditation on the future of commerce and a “thinking-forward exhibition,” he sees this installation as his response to the uniformity of fashion in the 21st century and a forecast of the fashion experience in the 22nd century.

The exhibition is organized by Emma Reeves, Project Coordinator.
