There was a fusion of fashion and art during ‘Matisse et la Mode in the Stedelijke Museum.

The influence Matisse had on art and fashion was highlighted by an interview between Liselore Frowijn, fashion journalist NRC Milou van Rossum and curator of the Stedelijke Museum Bart Rutten, which led to interesting perspectives on the artist.
