Tracey Neuls, Nina Saunders and Sanderson are getting together for a special collaboration in time for London Fashion Week.
Footwear designer Tracey Neuls will open her shop TN29 on Marylebone Lane for a 3-way collaboration involving acclaimed artist Nina Saunders, and revered British textiles company, Sanderson on the eve of the latter's 150th anniversary.
The collaboration will be anchored by a large-scale scultpture from Nina Saunders and a dedicated collection of shoes from Tracey, both employing reissued vintage Sanderson textiles. Nina's sculpture, a characteristically morphed, melting item of furniture, upholstered in Sanderson, sets the scene for this sensual and playful subversion of the expected. Tracey's shoes take this further. Cast rubber soles are deftly inserted with Sanderson textile meaning the shoes have pattern top to bottom - a trailblazing approach in footwear.
The Spring/Summer 2010 collection is Tracey Neuls' most recent foray into an ongoing preoccupation with textile, surface and sculptural form. The vision goes beyond the shoe, and her shop's eclectic displays reflect her openness. The perfect match for Sanderson who have always forged strong links with dynamic designers and artists, encouraging a stream of innovation to mingle with the timelessness of their product.
"Most Curious" will run from 17th February - 30th June 2010 in the Tracey Neuls shops at 29 Marylebone Lane, London, W1U 2NQ
