Description
Between 1981 and 1986 Clowes produced a series of collections, all featured in this exhibition, each of which featured intricate prints that became a trademark of Clowes’ designs. Throughout the 1980s Clowes work was featured in leading mainstream fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar as well as new lifestyle magazines The Face, Blitz and i-D.
Southampton based collector Mikey Bean has generously loaned his extensive archive of Sue Clowes clothing and related ephemera for this celebration of 80s culture.
