Ashish: Fall in Love and Be More Tender is the first major survey of fashion designer Ashish Gupta. An unprecedented overview of Ashish’s subversive and playful practice, it showcases over 60 designs created by his eponymous London-based fashion label over the past 20 years. The exhibition will also feature a specially commissioned film and new photography by Ashish Shah, a rising star in fashion documentation.
Synonymous with glamour, maximalist design and painstaking craftsmanship, Ashish is a pioneering voice in the fashion industry whose work challenges stereotypes, foregrounds diverse identities and explores the role that clothing can play in the politics of optimism and inclusion.
Known for working in bold, joyful colours and creating clothes which are hand-embroidered in sequins and beads, Ashish’s designs have been worn by global icons including Beyonce, Debbie Harry, Hunter Schafer, Rihanna, Charli XCX and Taylor Swift.
