Come and see 16 gorgeous outfits, designed by fashion print students at Central St Martins for one of Britain's best-loved artists, Grayson Perry.
About
For the past 14 years, Central Saint Martins has collaborated with Grayson Perry on an end of year project “Make something gorgeous for Grayson Perry”. This translates to every 2nd year BA fashion print student at the college designing an outfit for the artist.
After trying on every single made-to-measure design in a private fashion show at Central Saint Martins, Grayson then announces his top three favourite outfits, awarding the students behind them bespoke and hand-crafted miniature ‘Claire’ sculptures. He also pins envelopes to the other outfits he intends to purchase – an undeniable honour and privilege for each student about to embark on their career in the fashion industry.
It is with great pleasure that this year, McCann London has partnered with Central Saint Martins to celebrate the students’ creative work and Grayson’s love of fashion, by hosting this exhibition featuring the 16 garments and story books, under the title: “Frockaholic: Grads, Grayson and Gorgeous Dresses”
