The Barbican is reviving its fashion programming with the Dirty Looks exhibition set to open in September 2025. This showcase will examine the evolving perception of decay within luxury fashion, featuring over 60 designers. As norms of beauty shift, the exhibition will display pieces that celebrate wear, tear, and distress, encompassing works by fashion icons and emerging talent. Shanay Jhaveri emphasizes the exhibition's goal to foster innovation and reflect the diverse contributions of fashion to society through a constellation of voices and practices.
"Dirty Looks will track the varied ways this dirty aesthetic has been presented, with works from over 60 designers on show."
"By focusing on a plurality of practices and established as well as emerging design voices from around the world, this programme aims to rethink what fashion's contribution to society can be."
