"The exhibition celebrates Taboo's legacy, showcasing how Leigh Bowery fostered connections among designers at a time when London was struggling to gain fashion recognition globally."
"In the mid-1980s, Bowery emerged not just as a nightclub figure, but as a critical networker who supported fellow artists and designers, boosting their visibility and careers."
"The exhibition reveals that while London had immense talent in design, it lacked the marketing strength to sell itself compared to Paris or New York in that era."
"This display is reminiscent of couture fashion shows, emphasizing creativity and shock value over commercial viability, showcasing designs that were often bespoke for the designer's use."
