FASHION LIVES
British Library, London
11 November 2005 - 1 February 2006

For the first time, Fashion Lives, a
new exhibition at the British Library, has brought together a collection of
post-war fashion authorities who have defined their profession and played a
unique role in shaping the fashion industry as we know it today. The
exhibition, curated by Alistair O’Neill, features exhibition design by Central Saint Martin’s
graduate William Hall includes a specially commissioned repeatable design by
fashion duo Eley Kishimoto that will form the backdrop throughout the
exhibition and a series of commissioned portraits by the photographer Gareth
McConnell of each of the interviewees.
