So now that the US elections got to their (happy) end, it is time for celebration. Get your dress quick and let’s go dance tonight ! I’ll wear my Rodarte for Sonia Rykiel jersey cheerleader suit and you’ll jump into the Pop Art Jean Charles de Castelbajac dress - wouldn’t that be ace??
A new exhibition at the London Victoria & Albert Museum this summer, Fashion V Sport, will explore the relationship between contemporary fashion and global sportswear brands. Both industries have been inspired by street style and have been working in closer collaboration in recent years.
Around 60 outfits will be on display including performance sportswear, work by fashion designers such as Stella McCartney, Bernard Willhelm, Jean Charles de Castelbajac, Dries van Noten, Sonia Rykiel, Nike clothing by Dr Romanelli, as well as Jeremy Scott’s collection for Adidas, inspired by artist Keith Haring.
