Fashion Life Drawing with Feben

Join us for an evening life-drawing session in the museum’s iconic atrium, facilitated and styled by celebrated fashion designer Feben, and inspired by a curator-led tour introducing fashion pieces featured in The Nue Black Aesthetic exhibition.

This tutored fashion life-drawing session will be led by fashion designer Feben, who will also dress and style the models in pieces from her archive.

During the event, you will draw models dressed in a variety of outfits, guided by creative prompts. All abilities are welcome, from beginners to professional artists, illustrators and fashion enthusiasts. All materials will be provided.

As part of the session, you will also be able to enjoy a curator tour of the fashion items displayed at The Nue Black Aesthetic exhibition.

The Nue Black Aesthetic is a landmark show celebrating the work of contemporary Black designers reshaping the design industry. Spanning furniture, architecture, fashion and installation, the exhibition unpacks the multifaceted practices of designers who draw from identity and culture, build community and those who are redefining design systems far beyond the Black community.

This event is wheelchair accessible, with step-free access throughout the museum.
