London’s Calling

5 Sep 2017

We have been delving into the archive of fashion designer and Nottingham Trent University lecturer Juliana Sissons. Housed within the Gallery Vitrines, London’s Calling reveals an eclectic collection of Juliana’s personal memorabilia and influences, iconic magazine features, design objects, and video footage.

This unique display gives a snapshot of her life as a fashion designer in London through the 1980s, working with the likes of Lee Alexander McQueen, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Top of the Pops, Divine, Scarlett Cannon, Leigh Bowery, Isabella Blow, and Judy Blame.

London’s Calling will be open to the public from Friday 22 September – Friday 27 October, with a special preview on Thursday 21 September, from 5 pm to 7 pm.
