Earlier this week I visited London for the day, after getting up before 7am which for a student is VERY early and a four hour bus journey we had key places to visit around Covent Garden. A friend wanted to visit an exhibition. I hadn't heard much about it before but said I would go with.. and once walking into the exhibition I realised that I had read up on and seen many advertisements for this event.
Nick Knights SHOWstudio is a major exhibition was a retrospective of nine years of online, innovation, invention and creation at Somerset House London. The exhibition was full of technology advances which you wouldn't imagine, show fashion in a whole new look.
A huge Naomi Campbell, a sculptural rendering of her body which uses 3D technology through a touch pad, where visitors of the exhibition can draw on a screen, choosing the colour and thickness of the paint brush, decorating the model in their own individual way. Myself and the rest of my group decided to have ago, and it was rather cool!
The exhibition included fashion films, and also a live model reading The Great Gatsby, where a telephone number was seen and you could ring the number to hold a conversation with him live. I had never seen anything like this before, I LOVED it!
Imaginative, bright, futuristic art work was present throughout the exhibition, one of my favourite, a whole wall display covered in glass plates with many fashion interests and models lips in various different colours
This is the closest I will probably ever get!!
Looking back at this exhibition and technology is changing the face of fashion and exhibition it makes me wonder what is going to happen to the fashion magazine in the future? I would recommend this to anyone with interest in fashion, art and technology it is something different and a MUST see, especially when I am someone where an exhibition sounds quite boring!!
