Before his passing late last year, the Tunisian-born designer conceived of this exhibition tracing his lauded career in couture. More than 60 handpicked garments—ranging from his 1980s form-skimming creations to his richly textured 2017 collection—are assembled here, interlaced with stories from his life, career, and collaborative relationships with the likes of Naomi Campbell and Grace Jones.
