V&A DUNDEE: the design museum’s 2020 exhibitions will explore the radiant world of fashion and nightclubs across five decades
V&A Dundee’s 2020 exhibitions will explore the radiant world of fashion and nightclubs by celebrating the work of Mary Quant and five decades of eccentric club culture.
Mary Quant
Dame Mary Quant, a truly iconic English fashion designer, became a leading figure behind the London-based Mod and fashions movements in the 60s.
The exhibition ‘Mary Quant’, currently on show at the V&A in London, explores Mary’s 60s fashion takeover when she reinvented a cutting-edge and empowered look for women.

Mary’s radical designs (from hot pants, to miniskirts, to trousers for women) revolutionised the 60s high street of fashion.
The V&A Dundee’s 2020 exhibit will explore an archive of Mary’s work, and feature an outstanding range of garments and fashion holdings.
When
4 April until 6 September
Night Fever: Designing Club Culture
Following the Mary Quant exhibition, the V&A Dundee will then explore the world’s most influential and daring nightclubs across 5 decades.
By charting the evolution of nightclubs since the 60s, the show examines how architecture and interior design merge with sound, light, fashion, graphics, and other mediums to create influential pop culture.
