Britain Creates: Fashion + Art Collusion

Two weeks ago I went to see the Britain Creates: Fashion + Art Collusion exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The premise of the exhibition was to bring artists and fashion designers together to collaborate on brand new pieces of art that celebrate design and innovation during this important year in the history of Britain. Each piece was unique and really showed off the collective strengths of each artist or designer. I really enjoyed working my way through the intimate space.


This free exhibition ends on the 29th July 2012 at the V&A Museum so catch it if you can, there’s more details about the artists and their work here

Jonathan Saunders + Jess Flood Paddock
Each individual screen print was created by tossing one of Jonathan Saunders’ jumpers on to an exposing plate. The shapes created were then printed using vibrant coloured inks. The artists decided to present these prints as if they were clothes on a rail, almost like a mass produced fashion line. This was probably one of my favourite pieces in the exhibition, because of it’s simplicity and the clever way they combined colours.
