Fashion and Textile Museum

Friday 1st November 2024 I went to the Fashion and Textile museum with my dad to seen the fashion Outlaw Fashion Renegades of London. We travelled there on the Elizabeth and Jubilee lines from Ilford to London Bridge. The exhibition centres around the legendary nightclub Taboo, opened by designer and performance artist Leigh Bowery in 1985. Displaying original garments and accessories from Leigh Bowery and over thirty designers, including custom-made pieces from private collections and rare pieces from designers such as John Galliano, John Flett, Stephen Linard and Dean Bright amongst others, plus photography, film and artworks, the exhibition focuses on this vibrant alternative arena where the anarchic energy of the night spilt over into experimental creativity by day. Afterwards we stroll along to riverside and came across Paddington Bear marmalade photo opportunitie. Below are some pictures from my day and my food pictures last Friday from my Nans birthday meal at Mario’s and also if you like reading my blog please comment.

Here are my things I bought
