Starting June 9, 2017, the Amsterdam Museum presents the first retrospective exhibition of the acclaimed Dutch fashion duo Puck & Hans. This showcase captures the spirit of the era through their innovative designs, which earned them widespread acclaim in Amsterdam and beyond during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Renowned for blending exclusivity, exceptional quality, and playful creativity, Puck & Hans worked closely with the museum to curate this display. A compelling documentary by Smarthouse Films explores their legacy and premieres around the opening. The exhibition runs until September 3, 2017.
High-profile clients like Loes Luca, Princess Irene, and Marina Abramović wore their creations, but unique Puck & Hans pieces also delighted everyday fashion enthusiasts. Alongside items from the Amsterdam Museum's collection, the show features rare, previously unseen garments loaned by private collectors.
The documentary traces the exhibition's journey, from gathering garments from collectors to the grand opening, revealing Puck & Hans's profound impact on Dutch and Amsterdam fashion. It spotlights admirers like Viktor & Rolf and Jean Paul Gaultier, while offering intimate insights into the designers' lives—past and present. Filming culminates at the exhibition's launch.
