“be yourself; everyone else is already taken”: daniel lismore in a new exhibition
One of London’s most unique and stylish dressers is honoured in a new show at the SCAD FASH museum from January.
"London's Most Outrageous Dresser" (according to
Vogue) is
to be the subject of a style retrospective at SCAD FASH (the Savannah
College of Art and Design's museum of fashion in Atlanta) from January
to April. i-D family member Daniel started out modelling for the likes
of Mario Testino, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and Ellen von Unwerth,
then gradually emerged as one of London's most inventive dressers at
early noughties club nights like Boombox. Since then, his style has
evolved and his talents have spread into art, styling and designing,
with collaborations with rapper Azealia Banks, an appearance in a George
Michael video and a future role in the
Absolutely Fabulous
movie in the mix. All of this will be up for evaluation in "Be Yourself;
Everyone Else Is Already Taken", Daniel's first solo museum show in the
United States, and an exhibition curated by Rafael Gomes. Check out
hundreds of his items (plus 30 ensembles styled by Daniel himself) from
his dramatic and eclectic wardrobe, which moves from haute couture to
charity shop and from vintage fabrics to plastic trinkets.
The exhibition runs from 22
nd January to 1
st April at
SCAD FASH
