Emerging Fervour

I went to the press briefing and exhibition preview tour of the SHOWstudio: FASHION REVOLUTION at Somerset House yesterday and it was really something! Invited by Gwyn Miles, Director of Somerset House Trust and Nick Knight, Founder of SHOWstudio, it was an eye-opener. I’m definitely going again during London Fashion Week with the rest of the Emerging Fervour team.

Check out some pictures that I didn’t take of some of the pieces on display in recent years.

A major exhibition staged at London’s Somerset House in Autumn 2009, SHOWstudio: Fashion Revolution is a retrospective of nine years of online innovation, invention and creation. Based around the themes of ‘Process’, ‘Performance’ and ‘Participation’, the exhibition showcases over twenty projects from SHOWstudio’s archives alongside unique new films, artworks and live fashion shoots and events specifically devised for this groundbreaking exhibition. This intro was taken from the SHOWstudio blog

We’ll be sure to take some pictures of the event during LFW. If you’re interested in coming, the event is taking place on the 17th September through to 20th December 2009. To buy tickets go to the Somerset House site – they’re £4-£5 and it’s free for under 12′s.
