Kylie on Stage at Geelong Gallery

Geelong Gallery is delighted to announce that Kylie on Stage, an exhibition celebrating magical moments from Kylie Minogue’s highly successful concert tours, will open at Geelong Gallery on December 10 as part of the exhibition’s regional tour.

The exhibition features upwards of 50 items, including full body costumes, hair pieces, shoes and many accessories.

Known for her eccentric costumes made by well-known designers, Kylie is excited for her fans to see a more of a behind the scenes look at some of her most famous costumes.

“I’m excited for fans to get up close and personal with my costumes and to get a glimpse behind the curtain to see some of the design process,” Kylie Minogue said.

The free exhibition is drawn from Kylie’s spectacular stage wardrobe held at Arts Centre Melbourne’s Australian Performing Arts Collection and features costumes from tours dating back to 1989 as well as more recent tours such as Kylie Aphrodite les Follies in 2011. Featured designers within the world-first exhibition include Dolce and Gabbana, John Galliano, Julien Macdonald, Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier as well as local designers including Peter Morrissey and Mark Burnett.

Geelong Gallery director and chief executive officer Jason Smith said the gallery was excited to present Kylie on Stage during summer.

“It’s such a sleek and sophisticated exhibition; from the black walls, exhibition furniture and stunning designs, there is such a strong presence of Kylie herself, it will really be amazing,” Jason said.

The exhibition is approached chronologically with themed areas that reflect the development of Kylie’s stage persona throughout her career. Kylie on Stage also features a selection of designs, working drawings, photographs and footage that explore the creative process behind each costume and provide rare glimpses into the world backstage.

This exhibition is free and will run from December 10 to March 4.
