About the exhibition
Pattern and Print: Easton Pearson Archive is a celebration of the internationally acclaimed fashion house Easton Pearson.
Easton Pearson was at the cutting edge of international fashion between 1998 and 2016. The label’s success hinged on the remarkable 28-year creative partnership between Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson that began in 1989. Their unique ways of working fostered inventive designs, lasting collaborations, and supported ethical manufacture.
Pattern and Print: Easton Pearson Archive showcases a selection of vibrant garments that highlight the technical innovations, bespoke fabric, distinctive prints and embellishment choices of the fashion house. Easton Pearson collaborated with individual artists and artisans to create unique designs which ranged from colourful Indian beading, to designs painted by hand directly onto a finished dress.
