Swedish Fashion: Exploring a New Identity
6 February to 17 May 2009
Opening Times: Wednesday – Sunday, 11am – 6pm
Featuring: 13 designers including Ann-Sofie Back, Sandra Backlund and Helena Horstedt
This new exhibition showcases a new wave of Swedish design talent, with the work of thirteen fashion and jewellery designers who challenge the stereotypical picture of Swedish fashion as blonde, functional and minimal. Since the late 1990s there has been a growing sense of a new guard emerging – putting the country on the map with a burgeoning number of fashion labels and designers. Created by the Swedish Institute and specially enhanced and adapted for the FTM, this exhibition showcases the bold, the avant-garde and the surprising. Admission prices: £5 for adults, £3 for students and concessions, free for under 12’s

The next Art in Mind exhibition will present once again a dynamic group show featuring 13 Street and Contemporary artists.
The Brick Lane Gallery is pleased to present the world famous street artist The Krah. Originally from Greece The Krah has been making waves in the UK street art scene and has been painting the streets of London for many years. The Krah’s works can be seen around the Shoreditch and Brick Lane area. Like many street artists his recent projects have been moving into galleries and he has been showing extensively in London, Greece and worldwide. The Krah’s work started several years ago in Greece writing graf and traditional graffiti. His natural progression has evolved towards a new way of painting which emerges into a contemporary style of street art. The Krah’s signature street works look something between organic and hybrid robot bodies presented with computer monitors and TV heads. Caught within a hyper reality, they observe the situation and world order around them. The TV faces look both happy and sad, they laugh and look pleased and sometimes angry with passers by. The Krah will be showing several new works on canvas and wood board.

Running for more than 50 years, Edinburgh College of Art’s annual, sell-out Fashion Show is a key date in the capital’s cultural calendar. Vibrant, energetic and above all, inspiring – it sets the pace for other fashion shows to follow.
The catwalk, as ever, will be fast and furious. On-trend, but always a little bit ‘out there’, ECA Fashion Show 2009 will feature edgy, sculptural designs, sexy, grown-up womenswear, and the kind of one-off, craft-based pieces that London buyers are currently clamouring for.
ECA Fashion Show 2009 will present the final collections of students graduating in Fashion and Performance Costume, as well as collaborative projects with the Textiles department. These will be shown alongside the mini-collections of 2nd and 3rd Year students.
