This summer, See All This brings a blistering issue about clothes and how they behave – how they move us and how they sometimes manage to hinder us. Through the visionary eye of guest curator and forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort, you will discover how being overdressed is a social dilemma and how moving from one colour to another is an almost geographical choice. How a wardrobe can be collected as art and how 20th-century art influences today’s fashion. How textiles should be revived and revered. How yellow is the new pink. And how a simple hand-painted apron can transcend fashion and change your life. Forever.
