Fashion Together

At London College of Fashion there is an exhibition at the Fashion Space Gallery about collaborations in the industry rather than individuals. It was curated by Lou Stoppard like the North: Fashioning Identity. The collaborations had the likes of Rick Owens and Michèle Lamy with their grungy chic. Nick Knight and Daphne Guinness with their music videos and 36 hour live-stream. Inez Van Lamsiveerde and and Vinoodh Matadin on their 25 years of front covers, advertorials and their own art. Bjork and Lady Gaga music videos and campaigns for Vivienne Westwood. Shaun Leane and Alexander Mcqueen backstage of a fashion show about aluminium coiled corsetry was my favourite as I am most intrigued by the happenings and makings of such exclusive events. Another part of the exhibition I enjoyed particularly was the one where they had an electronic flip book of polaroids. The instant capture is something that can't be changed in a physical picture and thats priceless. I liked the quotes around the garments on the floor as well it its something I haven't seen before in an exhibition. It was one small room so I do wish it had more.

Love,
