Designer Ashish will be the subject of the V&A’s next Fashion in Motion. Four free catwalk shows will take place on October 23, presenting highlights from the label’s collections. Ashish will present a retrospective of womenswear and menswear from across the last decade for the catwalk shows at the V&A. Known for his craftsmanship and sense of humour, visitors can expect to see signature hand-beaded dresses, glitter splattered jackets, sportswear in rainbow sequins and frayed metallic denim. Originally from Delhi, Ashish studied Fine Art in India before moving to London where he completed an MA at Central St. Martins. His plans to work in a Paris design studio were halted when his portfolio of work was stolen at the Gare du Nord train station, but he made a small collection that was commissioned by London store Browns. Since then, the brand has grown and is now stocked at over 50 retailers worldwide including Colette in Paris, Jeffreys in New York and Net-a-Porter. Admission to Fashion in Motion: Ashish is free but a booking fee will apply. Limited tickets will be available from October 12.
