Art, Fashion and Identity
Beyond protecting our bodies from the elements, the clothes we choose to wear are a means of communicating who we are and where we feel we belong. A new exhibition at the Royal Academy looks at how contemporary artists and fashion designers have turned to clothing to explore some of these issues of identity. Jane was shown round by the Royal Academy’s Director of Exhibitions Kathleen Soriano, and the artist Susie MacMurray, whose garment sculpture ‘Widow’ is part of the collection.
‘GSK Contemporary – Aware: Art Fashion Identity’ is at the Royal Academy in London from 2 December 2010 – 30 January 2011
