In NERAM’s inaugural Chandler Coventry Lecture, on Friday, September 7, Ms Kubler will explore how the traditional boundaries between these two cultural fields have continued to blur in the 21st Century.

Major artists collaborate with leading fashion houses to produce contemporary works that exist at the nexus of “art as fashion” and “fashion as art”.
