Description

Direct from Buckingham Palace comes an innovative exhibition showcasing major UK designers such as Stella McCartney, Karen Walker and Bibi Russell paired with up-and-coming talents in collaboration on a series of womenswear projects. After its London debut earlier this year, the glittery exhibit comes to NYC’s Fashion Institute of Technology with 32 elaborately embellished ball gowns co-created by teams of designers. A selection of them will be auctioned off by Paddle8 with all proceeds going to support FIT.
