The BFC Fashion Arts Foundation and the Royal Academy Schools have announced a new commissioning project which will bring together fashion designers and visual artists to collaborate across art forms. The project is called Fashion Art Commissions and will pair graduates from the RA Schools with NEWGEN and NEWGEN MEN designers. The commission will produce artworks that will form part of an auction at Christie’s. The pieces will be on display from October 31 – November 11 at Christie’s King Street gallery and will then be part of an online auction from November 22 – December 1. The money raised from the auction will go back into the BFC Fashion Arts Foundation, one of the BFC’s registered charities. For the inaugural Fashion Art Commissions there are four pairs: Agi & Sam and Joe Frazer, Alex Mullins and Amy Petra Woodward, Diego Vanassibara and Victoria Adam, Kit Neale and Jonathan Trayte.
