Works from the private collection of Joelle Chariau, on show at London's Design Museum
Over the past year, London College of Fashion students have been creating collections inspired by the great Ballets Russes - the 'itinerant' company directed by Serge Diaghilev, which became renowned in the early 20th century for making dramatic statements via exciting combinations of dance, music and art - and filming their efforts as they've gone along.
The resulting production forms the centrepiece of a special event taking place this Friday to tie in with the Victoria and Albert Museum's autumn exhibition Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes, 1909 - 1929.
Ballets Russes Design Perspectives will take place at the V&A on Friday 19 November from 8.00pm. As well as the film screening, the evening will feature a hotly anticipated performance by members of the English National ballet to showcase the clothes designed by the LCF students.
