An Evening with Mr Fish
March 5, 2024 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Event Navigation
Join us for an event marking the legacy of the brand that became the epitome of modern British flamboyance.
An evening celebrating Mr Fish, the Jewish ‘boy from Wood Green’ whose extraordinary creative vision became the centre of media frenzy in the sixties. Join us for an event that spans from the Swinging Sixties to the present to explore the playful and sometimes subversive approach to dressing adopted by Mr Fish and friends, which continues to impact fashion today.
From short talks exploring everything from the Peacock Revolution to David Bowie’s style, the evening will bring together fashion, music and conversation to reflect on the unapologetic individuality that came with Mr Fish designs and garnered a loyal following in everyone from fashionable young professionals to international celebrities.
This event includes access to our Fashion City exhibition. Please note the exhibition will be open before the event, between 5.30–6.30pm.
