The V&A Museum in London is bringing back its free Fashion in Motion catwalk series, which will feature budding fashion designer Harris Reed.
On March 18, the museum’s Raphael Court will host the Fashion in Motion: Harris Reed event, which will feature three free shows displaying Reed’s creations in a newly commissioned fashion performance.
Reed, a British-American Central Saint Martins graduate, shot to fame after clothing singer Harry Styles and has since become known for pushing fashion in a more gender-neutral and inclusive direction.
ACCORDING TO THE MUSEUM, the V&A has created an immersive set that will incorporate designs from Reed’s collections addressing themes of performance, extravagance, and self-expression.
“Young LGBTQ creator, there could be no better honor than having your work chosen to be exhibited in an establishment as respected as the V&A museum,” Reed said in a statement about becoming a part of the V&A’s Fashion in Motion series.
Someone who creates art with the aim of sparking a larger discourse about gender expression and identity, such as Fashion In Motion, which makes fashion shows open to anyone, and who actually intends to change the dynamic and thinking of more people about fluidity.”
