The Wales Bonner fashion show at RIBA Venues

RIBA Venues recently played host to the Wales Bonner fashion show on 8th January 2017.

The event, which took place during London Fashion Week, showcased Wales Bonner’s 2017 winter/ autumn collection to 150 guests in the venue’s RIBA Gallery.

Grace Wales Bonner is an acclaimed fashion designer having won the L’Oréal Professionnel Talent Award for her graduate collection and Emerging Menswear Designer at the British Fashion Awards in 2015.

Her work explores representations of black male sexuality and identity which is informed by research that encompasses critical theory, composition, literature and historical sources.

Grace Wales Bonner said: “The Florence Hall was a very impressive space which allowed me to be ambitious with the show concept. The venue and location are beautiful and inspiring, it was a pleasure to work with the RIBA team.”

RIBA Venues Head of Venues, Moya Maxwell, adds: “We were delighted to welcome such an acclaimed fashion designer to RIBA Venues. This further consolidates our offering as a great venue for high-profile fashion events, as well as conferences and meetings.”
