The exhibition highlights the London club scene –
nightspots of fashion on parade
which fuelled the creative energy of
the emerging fashion talents of the decade.
Art students flocked to these vibrant venues,
inspired by music heard and dress observed.
They challenged previous fashion sensibilities and
in turn contributed significantly to the rise of
London as a leading fashion capital.
Creations by John Galliano, Betty Jackson, Wendy Dagworthy,
Katherine Hamnett and Stephen Jones, among others are featured.
