Fashion v Sport

When: Tuesday, 5 August from 10:00 - 17:45

As much as grotty old dandies might complain about the modern 'fad' for sporting trainers and tracksuits and other such branded paraphernalia, there's no question that sport and street styles have had a big impact on the fashion industry, particularly in the last twenty years.

This major exhibitionm at the V&A looks at the relationship between fashion and sportswear and the intermingling of ideas between the two. There's some amazing pieces on show from Nike, Adidas, Reebok, JC de Castelbajac, Dries van Noten and the incomparable Kim Jones.

Until 14.12.08.
