Fashion Vs Sports

I love sportswear and it dominates nearly everything i wear whether it be a hooded top or some nike air dunks it is also a huge part of the work i do and are first collection was very much influenced by sportswear, so when The V&A annouced the Fashion Vs Sport exhibition i was intrigued to go and see it espcially after the Golden Age of Couture which was truly amazing, to my bitter disappointment this exhibition had nothing on its predecessor and without sugar coating anything i must say it was rubbish and if i didnt go i wouldnt be missing anything really. There was so much missing including the likes of Reebok one of if not the biggest english sports brand, gola was nowere to be seen nor one of british sportswears loudest voice of recent years both Kim Jones mainline and umbro line was missing. Aitor Throupe and Cassette Playa where probably the most recent designers to have their work displayed and aitors work i must say was probaly one of the strongest in the whole of the exhibition his finished garment showed the time and thought he went through to produce a garment of such high quality. Everything in the room which was quite small was very cliche and it seemed the whole thing was rushed and slapped together in mere seconds not several months. The sad matter is i could produce a better exhibition by rumminging though my friends closets xox
