Stay Alive in 85
When visiting the 'Club to Catwalk' exhibition at the V&A in London I was not only in ore of the clothes but of the people that went with them. I became fascinated with Scarlett Cannon and Boy George and their daring attitude to not just fashion but life. However the exhibition didn't let us forget what came with an endless amount of sex, drugs and fashion; many people lost their life to AIDs and HIV. Catherine Hamnett's T-Shirt which simply says 'Staying Alive in 85', screen printed on a red cotton, references the many people who lost their life to this disease.
