'Finding Fashion's Funny Bone' by Leisa Barnett
As our London Fashion Week coverage and Fifteen Minutes of Fashion projects kick off, we also launch another element of Future Tense. Through until the final day of the project on Thursday – coincidentally the penultimate day of fashion week - we will have contributions from a selection of young fashion writers addressing themes and issues raised in the project. Our first essay is from Leisa Barnett of Vogue.com who, in her own words’ addresses “the combustible mix of couture and humour” in the work of this new generation of fashion talent.
