Fabulous new exhibition area at Somerset House scrubs up very nicely!
Skin + Bones allows us to examine the visual and conceptual ideas that unite fashion and architecture, focusing on the period from the 1980s to the present day. The show features more than 200 works by over 40 internationally renowned architects and fashion designers including Boudicca, Hussein Chalayan, Vivienne Westwood, Thomas Heatherwick, Herzog & de Meuron, Viktor and Rolf and Zaha Hadid. The show is being held in the wonderful new Embankment Galleries at Somerset House, in an installation designed by architect Eva Jiricna.
Very interesting show and beautifully presented!
