'I Will Survive'

Joana Vasconcelos confronts the world of embroidery and crochet, sex and simulacra at the Burlington Gardens as Autumn officially takes a stand on London. Finding inspiration for her first London exhibition through the daily themes of life. Entitled after the musical genius of Gloria Gaynor's 'I will Survive' this showcase captures a very disciplined, often stereotypical skill and transforms it into something almost unimaginable. The idea of crochet, embroidery and beading dwarfing the entrance hall of the Haunch of Venison is impressive. Vasconcelos's ability to explore similar themes of femininity and womanhood in a range of forms and materials ensures the exhibition that flows over a massive nine rooms will capture and hold the audiences throughout, the 'Garden of Eden' is breathtaking.

Colour Me In

Remember when you were little and you use to color in coloring books? How fun was that? I know it was pretty damn fun!

Well now you can color in your own dress! Do it yourself fashion is a great new concept that allows you to be the designer. It puts you in charge and allows your creative juices to start flowing.

Berber Sopeboer and Michiel Schuurman's Colour-In Dress is an A-line shift covered in a black and white print that can be coloured in with the included textile markers.

It's a genius idea but there is only one problem. Is it really worth 250 Euros? Which is equal to 370 US dollars. You be the judge.
