Curator Talk, Outlaws: Fashion Renegades of 80s London

Description

Meet the exhibition curators and art director behind Outlaws: Fashion Renegades of 80s London exhibition at this lively panel discussion.

The exhibition centres around the legendary nightclub Taboo, opened by designer and performance artist Leigh Bowery in 1985. Imposing ‘dress as though your life depends on it, or don’t bother’ as the dress code, the Taboo circle – which included fashion designers BodyMap, Rachel Auburn, John Crancher and Pam Hogg, dancer Michael Clark and pop star Boy George – sparked a scene that used the language of hedonistic excess to create fashion, art and popular culture.

Hear how the curators selected original garments and accessories from Leigh Bowery and over thirty designers, including custom-made pieces from private collections and rare pieces from designers such as John Galliano, John Flett, Stephen Linard and Dean Bright amongst others and how they bought this vibrant alternative scene to life for the museum audience.

The talk starts at 18:00, ticket holders are welcome to view the exhibition before the talk begins.
