Portrait Fong-Leng, 2025, by Eddy Wenting
On Saturday, 1 November, join the free entrance tour through the exhibition
Fong-Leng & Fans - 60 years of Fashion & Fame, an exhibition on the influence and significance of the colorful, multidisciplinary fashion designer and artist Fong-Leng. A unique player in the Dutch fashion and design world for 60 years, producing and inspiring other young creators to this day.
Fong-Leng (1937) is famous both at home and abroad for her flamboyant outfits: dresses and coats made of leather, silk and fur with applicator exotic animals and plants. In the 1970’s, she became popular with her extravagant creations, which were worn by celebrities such as Mathilde Willink and singer Kate Bush. Her distinctive work and personality have resulted in a large number of ‘fans’ and - even 60 years later - continue to be an inspiration. In this exhibition, Museum JAN gives these admirers an opportunity to showcase the power and uniqueness of her work and her place in the Dutch fashion landscape.
