Our exhibition for the British Council that started at the Design Museum, continues with a tour to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Bangladesh and potentially onto Russia, India and China. The exhibition, curated by Alison Maloney, celebrates several London based fashion designers, and how their work displays their past and their cultural heritage.

The exhibition was conceived as a series of theatre sets for each designer with printed backdrops and floors set within a metal structure. The challenge with the exhibition has been how to tour the sets without compromising the design, as the structures and backdrops need to fit into crates for shipping. Additionally many of the venues are not within tradition exhibition spaces, and so the designs need to be able to adapt to different surrounding buildings.

The exhibition will start the tour March 2011.
