Fashion v Sport at the V&A
From 5th August

Best for: Super Super stylists


Four by Four at Sartorial Art
From 6th August
Four separate four day-long solo shows of exciting contemporary artists, all curated by Harry Pye. That means a private view every single week.
Best for: Arabs with time for cursive fancy



An Experiment in Collaboration at Jerwood
Throughout August
A load of contemporary artists collaborating with experts in the worlds of fashion, computing, psychiatry and biophysics to prove that art can actually engage with the rest of the world.
Best for: interdisciplinary conceptual shenanigans


Joseph Szabo at Michael Hoppen
Throughout August
Lots of black and white snaps of some of the bizarrest looking people you’ll ever see. The location? Jones Beach, New York. Their affliction? Colossal vanity.
Best for: freak-spotters


Garden Photographer of the Year at Kew Gardens
Throughout August
It's summer time! Kind of. And Kew's the best place to be when the sun is out, plus this year there's a big exhibition of stunning garden photography.
