Anderson said at the time: "This is a rare and exciting opportunity for me to bring together pieces of art and fashion that have long inspired my own creative work and to see what happens when these objects rub up against each other." Of Hamilton's exhibit at Tate Britain, he says: "I want this to be a space in which to explore ideas of gender and identity that have been an ongoing part of my creative practice."
For his latest autumn/winter 2018 collection, Anderson also collaborated with an artist. The designer's idea of going back to basics was reflected in the show's set, which saw an otherwise simple space decorated by a centrepiece of sculptures by Martin Belou. The craft-focused installation, titled Les Hors d'Oeuvres, featured pieces spun from plaster and live fungus.
Have some fun at the Duveen Galleries at Tate Britain as you spot the brilliant combination of high and Loewe culture.
