London Fashion Week comes to the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground

British model Agyness Dean and new MTV girl Alexa Chung will be DJing at the after-show event, set to be the biggest draw on the Fashion Week party calendar.

Bailey added: “It’s going to be a celebration of British fashion, British creativity and of Burberry being back home in London and we are all so excited about it.”

The refurbishment of the Parade Ground was funded by a £1.5 million gift to University of the Arts London from the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation which  was founded in 1990.  For more than two decades, the Foundation has been a  visionary supporter of arts education and practice.”

Bill Fontana – Speeds of Time. 3rdSeptember – 5th October 2008

Speeds of Time was a real-time sculptural sound map derived from the sounds of Big Ben. A network of microphones started at the House of Commons from the bell tower itself, spreading out to rooftops and terraces around and beyond Parliament Square. As it did so, Speeds of Time traced the contours of the temporal deformation of the bells. Some of the microphone locations included Westminster Abbey, the Treasury Building and the Horse Guards Clock at Whitehall.
