Drawing From The Archive Exhibition Tour

Nick Knight and SHOWstudio have long championed fashion illustration. This exhibition surveys SHOWstudio’s 17-year archive, showcasing examples of illustration that challenge conventional understandings of the medium. Animations, film and footage from live broadcasts are displayed alongside original artworks by a selection of SHOWstudio’s community of over fifty artists. Each season, to time with the international fashion weeks, SHOWstudio commissions different artists to cover the key looks at the shows in their own signature style. Additionally, many online projects feature examples of illustration or animation, and on occasion designers themselves have showcased their talent for drawing, taking up paints and pencils within the studio on camera.
