This was an absolutely outstanding exhibition. The way NGV presented the works was incredible clever and really inspiring, each room unfolding into a other jaw dropping exhibit. I also really enjoyed reading the quotes alone the timeline wall. I took my 11 year old daughter and (mostly disengaged) 17 year old son and they both loved it too. I'd love to go back and view it again as there is so much to take in if you read all the info boards as well.

Such a worthwhile exhibition. Beautifully curated. While I've never been a great fan of either designer, their creations are anything but boring. I prefer to call it "moving Art". As the captions read they were "provocateurs" of their time, challenging fashion's constraints and embracing the past whilst creating the new, the bold and the unpredictable. THANKYOU NGV for a thought provoking morning. Anna VERETENNIKOVA. Brisbane, Qld.

My experience of Westwood/Kawabuko was a visceral feast that ignited my personal teenage experiences in the 1980s. I was blown away to see 'Pirate' boots, tartan patterns and the original Buffalo girl dresses that were I now realise fed into the mainstream to become our fashion. My spiked hair, tartan stirrup pants, dreams of designing my own wedding dress with a cross cross calico bodice...incredible.

Step inside NGV International with full-day access to Westwood | Kawakubo, a world-first exhibition uniting two fashion icons in dialogue.

Explore 140+ rare works, including 40 runway pieces donated by Rei Kawakubo.

See Westwood’s silk ballgowns face Kawakubo’s vinyl deconstructions, corsets clash with sculptural voids, each gallery unfolding like a five-act opera.

Stand inches from fashion landmarks: Kate Moss’s tartan gown, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Sex and the City wedding dress, Naomi Campbell’s platforms, and Rihanna’s 2017 Met Gala dress.

Go beyond garments with film, photography, and archival material that unpack the cultural rebellions stitched into every piece.

Information walls and videos created a good introduction to the exhibits and the designer's life stories. Exhibits were well lit and presented beautifully. It was interesting to see how their styles developed over the years. I really enjoyed the experience.

Staggered entrance so not overcrowded. Not only a visual showing but a sensory experience. History and back story easy to appreciate 5*

Without a doubt the most beautifully curated show I have ever been to at the NGV. Layout the pieces of fashion the music the splendour was simply magnificent. I also loved the entrance with all the quotes on the plane background. My only regret is that I should've spent more time there and not being pressured by friends to leave as quickly as we did could've easily spent three hours in there.

While I enjoyed the exhibition I didn't think that the ticket price provided good value for money; the exhibition was smaller than other NGV 'blockbusters' I've seen previously and I was left a little underwhelmed at the end. I've seen other Vivienne Westwood exhibitions previously that were much better (had more content etc) so thought this was disappointing.

이 티켓은 19 4월, 2026 까지 유효합니다.

Stand between two fashion revolutions: Vivienne Westwood’s punk provocations and Rei Kawakubo’s radical abstractions, in one world-first exhibition.

Getting started

Your visit begins at NGV International on St Kilda Road; check in at the ground-floor exhibition desk and scan your ticket. Dimmed galleries, spotlighted mannequins, and film projections set a theatrical mood: textures, seam,s and soundtracks read clearly. Pick up a printed map or download NGV’s sensory guide; the cloakroom and toilets are adjacent for quick stops between galleries.

What to expect

Move through five themed galleries: Punk and Provocation, Rupture, Reinvention, The Body and The Power of Clothes, where garments, photos, and runway films converse. Spot Westwood’s tartan gown and corseted wedding dress and Kawakubo’s sculptural petal dress (Rihanna’s Met Gala look). Expect close-reading points, short film loops, and bench seating between rooms. Staff manage accessibility services, enforce no-touch preservation rules, and can advise on quieter routes if crowds worry you.

Features

140+ garments and archives sourced from NGV’s collection and global institutions, plus rare pieces from private lenders.

40 runway looks donated by Rei Kawakubo, including Rihanna’s sculptural Met Gala dress.

Pop-culture icons on display: Kate Moss’s tartan gown, Sarah Jessica Parker’s corseted dress, and Naomi Campbell’s infamous heels.

Five thematic galleries create a cinematic arc, contrasting rebellion with abstraction and letting ideas collide in the space.

Immersive storytelling design with runway footage, archival film, and atmospheric staging that deepens context beyond the clothes.
