Mary Quant Exhibition

The V&A Dundee is currently showing a wonderful  Mary Quant Exhibition that runs until January 2021.

Mary Quant is an iconic English fashion designer known for her youthful and fun brand, signified by the trademark daisy. She is also known for her mini skirts and short shorts.

At STROMA Films, we created a short promo film for this fantastic exhibition.

Fashioned From Nature

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, otherwise known as the V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design. It's permanent collection consists of over 2.3 million objects that span over 5,000 years of human creativity.

A current exhibition 'Fashioned From Nature' will run until 27 January 2019. The V&A states that it is 'the first UK exhibition to explore the complex relationship between fashion and nature from 1600 to the present day'. We have had the pleasure of producing 3 videos for 'The Future of Fashion' which is part of this exhibition. The Future of Fashion explores how the fashion industry uses vast quantities of natural resources, and meets some inventors, designers and companies that are making sustainable and environmentally friendly fabrics.

Pulp-It

This video gives a fascinating incite into making a new fabric based on paper that is both sustainable and environmentally friendly. It has been created by scientists and designers in Sweden and the UK.

Bolt Threads

Bolt Threads is a company based in California. They have developed a fabric that mimics the structure of spider silk. It requires neither the polluting chemicals of petroleum-derived materials nor the land, water and pesticides of conventionally farmed fibres.

Diana Scherer

Diana Scherer is an artist, designer and plant root weaver from The Netherlands. She trains the roots of plants to grow in intricate structures, creating a 3D textile. When the roots are fully grown, she removes them from the soil and cuts off the plant stems. The pieces produced are not yet suitable to be worn, but hint at a potential, more sustainable future in which we grow our own fashion in the ground. This will completely change how you view plant roots.
