BFC and Royal Academy Schools announce Fashion Arts Commissions
Date Posted: Thursday 27th October 2016
The BFC Fashion Arts Foundation and the Royal Academy Schools have launched a new commissioning project, which will bring together fashion designers and visual artists to collaborate across art forms. The project is called Fashion Art Commissions and will pair graduates from the RA Schools with NEWGEN and NEWGEN MEN designers.
The commission will produce artworks that will form part of an auction at Christie’s. The pieces will be on display from the 31 October - 11 November at Christie’s King Street gallery and will then be part of an online auction from 22 November – 1 December. The money raised from the auction will go back into the BFC Fashion Arts Foundation, one of the BFC’s registered charities.
For the inaugural Fashion Art Commissions there are four pairs:
Agi & Sam and Joe Frazer
Alex Mullins and Amy Petra Woodward
Diego Vanassibara and Victoria Adam
Kit Neale and Jonathan Trayte
