A Study of Anansi by Hormazd Geve Narielwalla.
Hormazd Geve Narielwalla has recently been offered an International Scholarship to read on a doctorate of Philosophy at London College of Fashion. His area of focus is ‘Tailoring is a learned discipline as well as an Art’, and his latest work, ‘A Study on Anansi’, draws inspiration from two sources: Savile Row tailoring patterns and traditional African Anansi tales.
London College of Fashion has curated an art exhibition in Hong Kong, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The show, which includes work by Charlotte Hodes, Gavin Fernandes, Sandy Black and Lucy Orta, runs until 13 February. Exhibitions Manager Belinda May flew out to project manage the show at the Institute of Textiles and Clothing.
