SCAD FASH TO PRESENT FIRST U.S. EXHIBITION OF DANIEL LISMORE’S WORK

SCAD FASH, the Savannah College of Art and Design’s museum, will present Be Yourself; Everyone Else Is Already Taken, the first U.S. exhibition featuring the work of London-based artist, stylist and designer Daniel Lismore from January 22 through April 1.

Curated by Rafael Gomes, director of fashion exhibitions at SCAD, the exhibition will features 30 ensembles styled by Lismore exclusively for SCAD FASH and includes hundreds of items on loan from Lismore’s extensive personal wardrobe. A prominent fixture in the London fashion circuit, Lismore has been the subject of exhibitions at the prestigious Tate Modern, London in 2013 and Tate Britain, London in 2014, and has collaborated with such musician as Azealia Banks, Iggy Azalea, and George Michael.

The core of Lismore’s artistic practice is sustainable fashion, a growing design philosophy that espouses creative reuse, upcycling of materials and reduction of impact on the environment. In recognition of his efforts on this front, retail clothing company H&M selected Lismore in September 2015 to be a face of its “Close the Loop” campaign promoting recycling in the fashion industry.
