Forgotten Peacock

Posted on September 16, 2008 Under Fashion

It’s fashion week in London, and if it’s anything like last week in New York it should bring out some really fashionable people and some outfits the general public might raise their eyes at. In an effort to challenge images of masculinity the Forgotten Peacock is an art installation that takes your average man and lets him rediscover his hidden peacock. We had a look at some of the outfits and we definitely admit they are challenging, but they push fashion to the level of an art form. Extravagant luxury suits were created by up and coming stars in the fashion world specifically for this installation and is supervised by an academic study men’s approach to their image. We look forward to seeing a couple good English blokes trade their soccer jerseys for one of the half suit/dress things of the Forgotten Peacock project. The project has two events, the first is this Friday at the Design Musuem as part of London’s fashon week, then again in October as a part of the Brunswick.
