cor blimey!! havent had time to blog because ive been busy at work- retail madness.. so ive uploaded some pics of londons visit to the design museum,wk and the tate.
The exhibition i found most inspiring was Matthew William's 10 years in fashion. Nice to see such a vibrant collection and from someone british. Matthew Williamson is a unique success story within the British fashion industry. Ten years after setting out on his own as a fashion graduate in 1997, he now has a store in the heart of Mayfair, his collections are worn by celebrity clients including Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sienna Miller, and he is Creative Director at Pucci. This overview presents his most iconic designs and deconstructs the process behind his work, illuminating his distinctive use of pattern, print and colour.
In the Tate we didnt really get as inspired but we couldnt miss the massive crack in the ground floor!Colombian artist Doris Salcedo has sent what looks like a bolt of lightning more than 500 feet across the floor of the Turbine Hall.
The work is the first in the Unilever series of commissions inaugurated with the gallery in 2000 to interfere with the building itself.The artist aims to draw attention to racism and the divisions in society. "Its appearance disturbs the Turbine Hall in the same way the appearance of immigrants disturbs the consensus and homogeneity of European societies," she said. Interesting.....
Overall jolly good day, hopefully many more visits to london to come. Its a real eye opener, and i cant help but feel more and more motivated every time i go there
