We can't wait to be inspired by this exciting display of modern and historical design at the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, London , 5 March 2016 - 3 July 2016.
This innovative exhibition will explore the enduring impact of the Florentine painter Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) from the Pre-Raphaelites to today.
Telling a story 500 years in the making, Botticelli Reimagined will be the largest Botticelli exhibition in Britain since 1930. Including painting, fashion, film, drawing, photography, tapestry, sculpture and print, the exhibition will explore the ways that artists and designers have reinterpreted Botticelli. It will include over 50 original works by Botticelli, alongside works by artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, René Magritte, Elsa Schiaparelli, Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman.
Holland Street's creative director and Royal College of Art textile designer, has responded to her love of Botticelli by producing the 'Casati Collection' of printed, silk dressing gowns, robes and kimonos. She has communicated the influence of this delicate and romantic look of this creative era, with a series of fabric prints available on her website www.holland-street.com.
These inspirational images are attached as we love to tell the story of each fabric collection and how we make references to historical movements and our creative muses. We believe this exhibition will capture your love of Botticelli in a diverse and breathtaking way.
