There is no way you don’t fancy the stunning designs by the bespoke fashion house, and this is an incredible chance to understand it up close. According to the London Design Festival, “this exhibition examines the work and legacy of influential Spanish couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga, with over 100 pieces crafted by ‘the master’ of couture, his protégées and contemporary fashion designers working in the same innovative tradition.”
Reflection Room by Flynn Talbot
The designer explained on London Design Festival’s website the idea behind this unique installation: “I conceived the idea standing in the gallery, and wanted to add my story on top of the beautiful existing architecture but not to take it over. With all of my work, I want to create new experiences using light that build a connection between people and place.” Definitely a must-see event during the nine days of the Festival! You can see it in the Prince Consort Gallery.
