It's going to be quite an Autumn/Winter for fashion fans, with the Barbican, Somerset House, the Design Museum and the V&A all hosting fashion-related exhibitions (more of that later…)
The Barbican's offering is Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion. The first exhibition of its kind in Europe (and about bloody time, if you ask me) the gallery showcases three decades of the avant-garde, from the likes of Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo, Junya Watanabe and Issey Miyake.
The exhibition hopes to determine what it is that makes modern Japanese fashion so unique and desirable, by examining the key themes that have emerged over the last thirty years, as well as looking at the influences, trends and designers who have made it happen.
If you saw the Viktor & Rolf retrospective a couple of years ago, you'll already know that the Barbican is a fantastic space for fashion exhibitions, and you'll also know that the Barbican doesn't half know how to host one.
Unmissable!
Admission £10 (or £8 when you book online!)
