The exhibition “Looking Twice: Fashion and Illusion”, a platform for emerging British talents and their explorations into the illusory nature of dress, showcased the work of fashion graduates from

Central St Martins College of Art and Design, London College of Fashion and Edinburgh College of Art. Curated by the students of the Fashion Curation MA at LCF the exhibition did not only look at how we view the fashion, but how we can be tricked by it
