“I don’t live like Daniel Lismore, the man, but like Daniel Lismore, the work of art.” All four podiums organized for the Coventry artist by the famous Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington were sold out. For twenty years now, the museum, which boasts the richest collection of clothing in the world spanning five centuries, including rare 17th-century dresses and casual wear from the 1960s, has been organizing Fashion in Motion. A live catwalk in a museum environment with invited fashion names who stand out for their artistic creativity, with Philip Tracy making the first presentation and then Alexander McQueen.

This time it’s the turn of Daniel Lismore, a special case artist and activist who creates wearable sculptures, or as he describes his creations, “3D paintings”. Studying photography and a short career as a model, the creator presented at the V&A the highlights of his solo exhibition Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Already Busy, a title borrowed from his 2016 book. a family antiques shop, he himself appreciates the historical costume made of plastic Star Trek memorabilia and, as a recycling fighter, is not shy about adding items he found in the trash to his work. Draperies, bits of plastic, mesh, leather and crowns, diamonds and crystals, feathers and giant headpieces, haute couture, traditional jewelry from around the world, and fabrics that have been hand-embroidered for months to make up a small part of an exuberant creation, all layered together . Each of Lismore’s pieces has been worn by him, an image of him that he took on the subway or shopped with before taking his place as a finished work of art with a title and inspiration in some kind of exhibition.

As for the visitor of the museum, he can enjoy two more exhibitions dedicated to African fashion and another dedicated exclusively to men’s fashion with the support of Gucci.

The duo of artists with this exhibition wants to explore the role of the physical body in the post-industrial sphere.
