FASHION CALENDAR
Exhibition ‘Swedish Fashion:
Exploring a New Identity.’ 6 February 2009
- 17 May 2009 at the Fashion and Textile Museum, 83 Bermondsey Street London SE1 3XF
This new exhibition showcases a new wave
of Swedish design talent, with the work of thirteen fashion and jewellery
designers who challenge the stereotypical picture of Swedish fashion as
blonde, functional and minimal. Since the late 1990s there has been a growing
sense of a new guard emerging - putting the country on the map with a
burgeoning number of fashion labels and designers. Created by the Swedish
Institute and specially enhanced and adapted for the FTM, this exhibition
showcases the bold, the avant-garde and the surprising.
Couture Fashion Week 13-15 February 2009 at Waldorf Astoria New York City www.couturefashionweek.com
Bridal Fashion Week 21-24 April 2009 at 7W New York City
