I trotted down to the British Library last night for a colourful night of fashion. Set amongst the impressive walls of the iconic library, the Fashion History and Theory students from Central Saint Martin's curated an evening inspired by material held within the library's collections. Against the sounds of Princess Julia and Jeffrey Hinton, people mingled amongst the workshops, book stalls, portrait sessions, make up presentations, talks and Andy Warhol inspired photo booth. The evening was topped by the fashion show - a collaboration with the CSM design students who each designed a dress on 'Tyvek', a synthetic material typically used to protect archive clothes from decay.
