TWO major fashion exhibitions are heading to Scotland next year.
The international retrospective on fashion designer Dame Mary Quant will run from April 4 until September 6 at the V&A Dundee, focusing on her career between 1955 and 1975.
Synonymous with the swinging 60s, Dame Mary’s accessible designs helped popularise miniskirts, tights and waterproof mascara, using mass production techniques to change the face of women’s fashion.
The Dundee design museum will then host the Night Fever: Designing Club Culture exhibition examining the world’s most famous nightclubs.
The show, running from October 31 next year to February 14 in 2021, is the first large-scale exploration of club culture and design, charting the evolution of nightclubs since the 1960s and covering New York’s Studio 54, Manchester’s Hacienda and London’s Ministry of Sound.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
