Fashion: Made to pleasure
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
SATELLITES OF Fashion at the Crafts Council explores the relationship between accessory designers and craftsmanship. Philip Treacy, Emma Hope, Lulu Guinness, Patrick Cox, Stephen Jones, Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo all consider themselves to be both craftsman and designers, and are represented here with the slickest in the industry.
If you are thinking of spending pounds 400-plus on a Lulu Guinness bag, you just may be seduced if you know it has been hand-embroidered with a silver cobweb. For anyone wanting to commission a pair of shoes, or a one-off hat, this show doubles as a luxury supermarket. Exhibits aren't for sale, but the contributors are commissionable.
Satellites of Fashion, at the Crafts Council Gallery, 44a Pentonville Road, London N1 (0171-278 7700) until 10 January 1999. Entry is free
