Outlaws: Fashion Renegades of 80s London

A new exhibition is about to open in London’s Fashion and Textiles Museum, celebrating the fashion of the 1980s alternative scene.

In 1985, Leigh Bowery, designer and performance artist, opened Taboo, a nightclub that became part of legend. This show is centred on the club, and showcases the film, photography, costume and accessories that made this short-lived venture, and its attendees, so iconic.

The show opens October 4th and ends on the 9th March 2025.
