‘US LOT: 25 Years of Fashion East, Powered by Nike’

FASHION EAST 25 YEAR EXHIBITION

A retrospective exhibition that was open to the public on 20th & 21st September in the ICA’s main gallery. Curated by Lulu Kennedy and Raphaelle Moore.
The exhibition offered an intimate look back at our dynamic history, featuring commissions and sculptures from Simone Rocha, Kim Jones, Craig Green, Mowalola, Maximilian Davis and Richard Malone, special artworks from Jawara Alleyne and Claire Barrow, iconic fashion photography of alumni by Wolfgang Tillmans, Harley Weir, Joyce NG, Jamie Hawkesworth plus previously unseen imagery from Fashion East’s vaults. Thank you so much to Bengi Ünsal, Steven Cairns and every single person involved. This was a mammoth project for us and a real labour of love.
