Olumide Gallery hosts unique Windrush event during London Fashion Week
‘Next Generation Regeneration: Fashion and Revolution’ is a unique Windrush themed celebration being held in Brixton during London Fashion Week, supported by Lambeth council and produced by supermodel turned art curator, actor and campaigner Eunice Olumide.
It will feature free fashion and sustainability presentations, top musicians, live question and answer sessions, and will culminate in a catwalk show on Sunday, September 15 at Lambeth Town Hall 2:00- 9:00pm to celebrate the huge and positive impact on society of the Windrush generation. Speakers include Afua Hirsch, Emma Dabiri, Sir Geoff Palmer, Nish Kumar, Jamelia and Dennis Calpone.
The event is being held in contrast to the ‘Windrush Scandal’ in which people from the Caribbean who were invited by the UK government to help rebuild the country after the Second World War were wrongly denied citizenship.
Eunice, who was awarded an MBE in 2017, said: “The fashion industry has long been linked to revolution, anarchy and significant change within culture and society. It is an area where marginalised groups have often been able to bring recognition to various serious social, economic and environmental issues within everyday life.
“This event ties those themes together and will highlight how Afro-Caribbean culture and society have had a huge influence on the British fashion scene, both in post war Britain and in the pre-colonial period. This community contribution is rarely articulated and actually stunts African, Afro-Caribbean development in the wider global fashion and art markets.
“It also serves as a repost to the terrible treatment people suffered as a result of the Windrush Scandal for the which the Government rightly had to apologise for and finally recognised by reversing their mistakes and setting up a compensation scheme.”
The Windrush generation are named after the Empire Windrush that arrived in the UK on 22 June 1948 carrying passengers from the Caribbean who were invited by the UK government to help rebuild the country after WWII. It is estimated that around 550,000 people from the Caribbean migrated to the UK between 1948 and 1973.
Cllr Sonia Winifred, Lambeth council’s Cabinet member for Cabinet Member for Equalities and Culture, is part of the Windrush Generation. She lobbied the Government to admit their errors and worked hard to support people who had been in some cases lost their jobs, homes and livelihoods because of incorrect Home Office policies.
Cllr Winifred said: “Lambeth is the heart of the Windrush community and we stand united in celebrating their contribution to re-building post-war Britain, and subsequent positive impacts on British society. We’re delighted to be working with Eunice on what will be a positive event that highlights just some of the Windrush Generation’s achievements since the ‘50s.
“This show supports our wider efforts to highlight the treatment of the Windrush generation. This also includes campaigning for a memorial monument in Windrush Square, and really exploring the impact of the hostile environment policies on the Windrush pioneers, and the subsequent younger generations.”
TATE LATE UNIQLIO EXHIBITION
Olumide Gallery Curates: Next Generation Regeneration
This month we’re exploring issues around the environment and sustainability within the arts, with inspiration from Olafur Eliasson’s newly opened ‘In Real Life’ exhibition at Tate Modern. Olumide Gallery’s MD Curates Fashion and Sustainability: Next Generation Regeneration, in collaboration with Uniqlo.
BODY BEAUTIFUL AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM
Exhibition 23 May – 20 October
Olumide gallery Collaborate with the National Museum of Scotland to examine how today’s fashion industry is challenging perceptions and championing alternative ideals of beauty on the catwalk, in advertising, editorial and behind the camera.
The first exhibition of its kind in the world, Body Beautiful: Diversity on the Catwalk will explore how fashion creatives are embracing inclusivity and body positivity by exploring five key themes: size; gender; age; race and disability. Visitors will learn how the industry is calling into question existing practice, and why it must address diversity from the inside out to reappraise contemporary ideals of beauty.
Recent seasons have seen the most racially diverse, size diverse and gender-inclusive fashion shows in history, with brands like New York’s Chromat leading the way. In London, Teatum Jones chose not to stage a runway show at all for its spring/summer 2019 Round Table not Runway presentation, and instead brought fashion leaders and activists together for a discussion on the industry’s responsibility to better reflect society.
Sponsored by Edinburgh St James and supported by Arts & Business Scotland through its Culture & Business Fund Scotland, the exhibition will champion the people, designs, and voices influencing positive body image and inclusivity, presenting key looks that show pivotal developments in contemporary fashion. On display will be catwalk ensembles from designers including Ferragamo, Pam Hogg, Ashish and Jean Paul Gaultier, brought to life through film, photography and fashion publications.
Highlights include a camel coat and matching hijab from Max Mara’s AW17 collection which were worn on the catwalk by Somali-American model Halima Aden. She was the first hijab-wearing model to walk the international high-fashion catwalks.
Also on display will be a bustier from Chromat’s SS15 collection. The piece was modelled by Denise Bidot, who made history as the first plus-size model to open a straight-size show at New York Fashion Week.
When Belgian designer Dries Van Noten showcased his 100th collection in March 2017, he staged a reunion of 54 models of all ages who have walked for him from 1993 onwards. A look from this collection will be on show, contextualised by original catwalk imagery, provided by pioneering fashion photographer Chris Moore, who is still working at the age of 85.
Interviews will capture the different perspectives of key influencers in the industry, from casting directors and models to stylists, editors, educators and advocates. The work of noted fashion photographers - including Nick Knight, Emma Summerton and Amos Mac - will be displayed alongside audiovisuals from designers FTL Moda and Teatum Jones, fashion showcase Fashion Scout and other independent film makers. The exhibition will also draw on the work of students from Edinburgh College of Art’s Diversity Network, incorporating the voices of the next generation of young designers.
In planning Body Beautiful, the exhibition team consulted an advisory panel of specialists to ensure that a broad range of voices and experts in the field of diversity inform the exhibition’s content and accompanying programming. These include fashion commentator Caryn Franklyn MBE; model Eunice Olumide MBE; academic and writer Sinéad Burke and activist, writer and public speaker Jamie Windust. Bespoke mannequins have been commissioned to reflect the range of people represented in the exhibition, including two which were cast from life.
Georgina Ripley, Senior Curator of Modern & Contemporary Fashion & Textiles at National Museums Scotland said:
“Diversity has become a key talking point in the fashion world in recent years, and Body Beautiful will be the first exhibition to examine the various ways in which the industry is addressing body positivity. With more and more designers incorporating ideas around inclusivity into their work, attitudes are shifting, making this a particularly exciting time in fashion. The catwalk creations on display in this exhibition offer a refreshing counterpoint to historical, narrow ideals of beauty, and they demonstrate that diversity can be a consideration for everyone working in the fashion industry today.”
Rochelle Burgess, Associate Director for Edinburgh St James said:
“We’re delighted to be a part of this exhibition that celebrates the rich tapestry of diverse voices and talent within the fashion industry and hope to collaborate again in the future with National Museums Scotland. Edinburgh St James will create a new fashion hub for the capital, providing a home for the brands that this city has been waiting for. From the start, we have sought to blend Edinburgh St James with the vibrant culture of the city and exhibitions like Body Beautiful perfectly encapsulate what this cosmopolitan capital is all about.”

Celebrities to attend exclusive art showcase to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK
Nik Grimshaw, Tinie Tempa, June Sarpong and leading fashion designer Henry Holland are among the stars attending TIME, an exclusive one-off showcase of work by established and upcoming artists to raise money for the charity Pancreatic Cancer UK. The event is being hosted in a pop-up gallery at a private location in the city on Thursday 21st March.
TIME was chosen for the name and theme of the event to reflect the urgent need to take on pancreatic cancer, which is both the deadliest and quickest killing of all common cancers. A quarter of people with pancreatic cancer die within a month of diagnosis.
The event which is being held for the first time has been curated by supporters of the charity Eunice Olumide MBE, Amanda Aldous MBE and the Prince and Pilgrim Gallery. It will feature one off collectable pieces from artists such as Robi Walters, The Connor Brothers, and Hen Coleman and photographers, Dave Hogan and Jim Grover, as well as never before seen work from Dan Baldwin and international artists Olumide Oregesun and the late Kevin Atkinson.
Lead curator of TIME, supermodel, philanthropist and gallery owner Eunice Olumide MBE became involved with Pancreatic Cancer UK after learning about the shocking survival statistics around the disease which have not improved for more than 40 years. She will be introducing Nigerian Hyperrealist Olumide Oresegun's first ever UK exhibition as part of TIME. Oresegun’s most iconic pieces are breath-taking water scenes which are highly sought after by collectors.
Eunice Olumide MBE said: “I was seriously stunned to learn about this cancer and that less than 7 per cent of people diagnosed will survive for 5 years. I knew nothing about its symptoms. For a cancer that has no discrimination around age, gender, race or socio economic status to be the quickest killing in the UK but receive the least funding was enough for me to feel motivated to get involved and that is why I am supporting through the Olumide Gallery and the artists I represent.”
Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to funding ground-breaking research into new treatments and faster diagnosis for the disease. The charity runs the only dedicated support line for people with pancreatic cancer, which is staffed by specialist nurses, and it also campaigns for better care, treatment and recognition for those affected.
Diana Jupp, CEO of Pancreatic Cancer UK, said: “Incredible progress has been in treatment for other cancers, but there hasn’t been a major breakthrough in pancreatic cancer for over 40 years. That is simply unacceptable. We urgently need to fund more research into new treatments before the deadliest common cancer takes even more lives, which is why so grateful to the artists and to Schroders for making this event happen and helping us transform the future for people affected by this dreadful disease.“

OLUMIDE GALLERY PRESENTS SWITCH
OLUMIDE GALLERY PRESENTS SWITCH, THE UK’S FIRST MULTIMEDIA EXIBITION TO EXPLORE SOCIO-ECONOMIC ISSUES AT CLERKENWELL LONDON.
Some of the UK’s most pioneering talent have collaborated to create Switch, an exhibition in partnership with Fuel Action Poverty, that presents socio-economic issues through inspiring sculptures, prints, paintings and neon.
Curator supermodel Eunice Olumide has selected each artist to bring a distinctive and unique element to the collection. The outcome is an intriguing and insightful exploration of the reality of life, the street and everyday people; seen through the eyes of the creators and straddles both past and present. The groundbreaking collection features four artists:
Max Patté studied at the Wimbledon School of Art in London (1997-2000), and was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 2008. Famed for his inimitable lightworks and sculpture it is no wonder he has become a highly collectable artists. Max has been working his adopted homeland of New Zealand. During his regular travels along the North Island’s distinctive southern coastline, he was captivated by the constant tuning of colour, light and rising sea levels.
Ian Berry is one of the most unique contemporary artists of our time utilizing old denim to create his work, citing denim ‘being such a modern urban fabric, after having such rural origins. What better way to capture everyday urban life’. The depth and texture of his work encourages viewers to imagine what is behind the, often melancholic, urban scenes, depicting a lonely or less glamorous side of city living.
James Mylne is a British contemporary artist known for his drawings in ballpoint pen. His technical abilities with the unorthodox art medium have earned Mylne recognition in Europe and the UK, where he is considered a leader in his genre of painting, sculpture and printmaking. Kays' work is characterised by bold imagery, often drawn from popular culture and art history, acerbic word-play, traditional craftsmanship and deadpan humor.
Lauren Bakers explores the fragility of life, energy-fields, the after-life and other dimensions, Lauren Baker’s creations include painted and embellished human resin skulls, animal skulls and sculpted animal heads. Recent works involve neon, infinity mirror and moving sculpture.
Eunice explains: “The Olumide Gallery represents the most innovative and cutting edge talent of our time – at the heart of our work is love, peace and revolution. Visitors to the gallery will see the reality of life, the street and real people through the eyes of the artists and be spurred into action to support us.”
The Olumide Gallery’s Switch exhibition opens on the 20th February and runs until the 26th February at Clerkenwell London (155 Farringdon Road EC1R3AD).
