Renegades of Fashion

Outlaws – Renegades of Fashion
 
At the January Crafty Chat Shobha Edgell shared some pictures from her visit to the Renegades of Fashion exhibition at London’s Fashion and Textile Museum.  This is a celebration of the most extravagant dress in 80s London, centring around the legendary nightclub, Taboo, opened by designer and performance artist Leigh Bowery in 1985.
 
Original outfits lent by former club-goers illustrated how it became a magnet for fashionistas and designers.  The clothes are radical, vibrant and extraordinary, and demonstrate how creative and influential their creators were.  Take a look at some of them here.
