Organized by National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, and The Kyoto Costume Institute, Dress Code playfully scrutinises the way we deal with dress codes and traditional encodings. It uses different questions to illuminate international fashion as a mirror of both society and the individual. Topics such as authenticity, and brand fetishism are systematised and visualised with exhibits. Whether designer dress or jeans, suit or sweatpants, knitted jumper or uniform – every culture, society, or group has its own dress codes.

The exhibition thus negotiates fashion between two poles – the individualist and the conformist. And it brings fashion by style-shaping designers such as Armani, Burberry, Chanel, Comme des Garçons, Martin Margiela, Issey Miyake, Vetements or Vivianne Westwood with contemporary art by Keizo Motoda, Tom Sachs, Cindy Sherman, Oliver Sieber, Juergen Teller or Kyoichi Tsuzuki into a dialogue.
