The White Dress Project seeks to explore the dynamics of a dress and the many ways in which it can fill an exhibition space.

Just off Carnaby Street is an upcoming exhibition entitled ‘Occupying Spaces: The White Dress Project’ directed by Judith Clark and Amy de La Haye and curated by students from their MA Fashion Curation course held a London College of Fashion.
The classroom has relocated to the gallery, bringing with it a lesson in exploration as to the many ways you can use an article (in this instance a white dress), to develop an exhibition space. It aims to turn the concept of a conventional exhibition on its head and challenges the viewer to re-consider the garment through slight (and in some cases extreme) manipulation of viewpoint. The audience are encouraged to participate in the advancement of the layout and become part of the peregrination.
The Exhibition is at 65-67 Broadwick Street, W1 and will be open to the public from 3rd April 2009 to 23rd April 2009.
