Art | Quilts 1700 to 2010

Lu Flux Spring 10 Collection

As we posted earlier, patchwork techniques from long ago are making their way onto the runway. With the aptly timed quilt and patchwork exhibit opening at the Victoria & Albert Museum on March 20th, this trend shows no signs of stopping. The exhibition will showcase a range of British creations from the 1700s to modern day, including intricate bed hangings from the 18th century to the reinvented quilt by current artists such as Tracy Emin.
