" My work, like my eye, is certainly international in its aesthetic, offbeat yet focused. As such, I am always open to the surprise of the new, the technique and skill of the past and the ability of fashion and art to challenge preconceived ideas of taste and culture.” D. Olowu
London-based fashion designer Duro Olowu will present a show and pop-up shop of fashion and art at Salon 94’s Freeman Alley Gallery. The show will present a group of limited edition fashion and accessory designs from Duro's Spring 2012 collection as well as a selection of vintage and contemporary photography, textiles, contemporary art, furniture, music, books and objets trouvés.
Duro has long curated, in his London store in Masons Yard Saint James, a diverse assemblage of "things" that have captivated and inspired him and his work. Clothing created by Duro for the exhibition will include intricately draped bias dresses with ruffle details, guipure lace jackets and paneled tail coats, collage bib sheaths and gilets, corseted and full skirted print dresses, billowing chiffon gowns and skirts, and hand made footwear. Alongside commissioned pieces by Paris-based jeweler Taher Chemirik, are paintings by Katherine Bernhardt and mirrors by renowned architecht David Adjaye.
