Outlaws: Fashion Renegades of 80s London centres around the legendary nightclub Taboo, opened by designer and performance artist Leigh Bowery in 1985.

Imposing ‘dress as though your life depends on it, or don’t bother’ as the dress code, the Taboo circle, which included fashion designers BodyMap, dancer Michael Clark and pop star Boy George, sparked a scene that used the language of hedonistic excess to create fashion, art and popular culture.

Displaying original garments and accessories from Leigh Bowery and over thirty designers, including custom-made pieces from private collections, plus photography, film and artworks, the exhibition focuses on this vibrant alternative arena where the anarchic energy of the night spilt over into experimental creativity by day.

Enjoy a guided tour of the current exhibition with one of our volunteer guides. These tours are an excellent way to learn more about the pieces on display as well as the context behind the exhibition.
