Ashish: Fall in Love and Be More Tender – FAULT Favourite designer announces new exhibition
The New Exhibition Ashish: Fall in Love and Be More Tender will give viewers an unsurpassed look at Ashish’s creations. His London-based fashion label has produced over 60 pieces of clothing over the past two decades, epitomizing his singular style of glamour, maximalist design and attention to detail. A vanguard in the fashion industry, Ashish’s work breaks stereotypes and promotes fair representation. His designs evidence how clothing can be used as a tool for hope and acceptance.
Ashish’s designs have been worn by global icons including Beyonce, Debbie Harry, Hunter Schafer, Rihanna, Charli XCX, Taylor Swift, and others. His designs are hand-embroidered with sequins and beads. Ashish Shah will also present a specially commissioned film during the exhibition.
A key message running throughout Ashish’s designs is that clothing is a form of self-expression and identity. Through examples of some of Ashish’s most politicized slogans, he will demonstrate how fashion can be used as a site for political and social engagement.
View Ashish: Fall in Love and Be More Tender from 1 April – 10 September 2023 at the William Morris Gallery
