Playful installations illuminate Julian's textile design process. His innovative slant on form, color, pattern and scale will be highlighted throughout the exhibition. The Retrospective will include historical installations of signature design motifs and a spectrum of examples of the diversity of original color and pattern work in clothing, textiles and furniture. Also included are historic sports uniforms and original costumes from the Robert Altman film, "The Player". "Listening to Color", a short film by screenwriter Alex Rose, spans three decades of Julian's style. Original music score composed by jazz pianist Eric Lewis. For the past three decades, Alexander Julian has made an indelible mark on the creative landscape, utilizing his distinctive flair for opulent textures, superior craftsmanship and marvelous color.
