Tate Modern is opening a Leigh Bowery exhibition next year and clearly he’s a hot topic as the Fashion & Textile Museum is doing a show on Taboo, the legendary Leicester Square nightclub that he opened in 1985. Outlaws: Fashion Renegades of 80s London showcases the creative scene that converged around the nightclub, which had a ‘dress as though your life depends on it, or don’t bother’ dress code and was known for hedonistic excess. Garments and accessories from Bowery, Boy George, Pam Hogg, John Galliano, Michael Clark, Stephen Linard, BodyMap and more will be on display alongside photography, film and artworks.
