Fashion V Sport


Yesterday evening was the opening of the new V&A exhibition Fashion V Sport.
Arranged in four small sections the exhibition "explores the creative connections between the two worlds of fashion and sport. Recent developments have seen an increasing number of collaborations and hybrids, from fashion designers producing collections with sportswear brands to sports personalities heading fashion campaigns or even designing their own collections. Fashion V Sport will reveal the complexities and tensions between the two industries."
Maybe it is because i'm not crazy enough about fashion experiments but i found the whole thing a little bit "light" and not that catchy. I do understand the point of it but for me it lacks a bit of interest. (again i'm rarely moved but fashion extravaganza)
The set itself on the other hand was fantastic. Very simple but the attention to details was impressive. Would have been worth seeing another room or two. The overall feeling was a small exhibition with a small content. (Luckily the food/drinks were good :p)
