‘Re-Cycle-Style – One’s innermost thoughts – and Archive Collections’ by Kumiko Tani & Kaori Ito. 1st to 25th of May

Private view Thursday 1st May 6:30  (Music supported by NUsic TV)

One’s inner most thoughts – and Archive collections
Love, hate, anger, jealousy, sorrow,  fear, despair, happiness…
Human emotion is infinite, free forever.
Yet, we have to survive against our mind sometimes.
To cover your body with fabric gives warmth and relief ,but at the same time can obstruct the mind or disguise thoughts.
This represents conflict over mutual feeling through body and fabric.

Re-cycle Style is an ethical project and fashion brand.
An enormous amount of waste is produced everyday and re-cycling is one way to reduce waste. We will try to change the image of re-cycling and provide a lead to people’s mind. This collection is profoundly connected with the city and its inhabitants.

Kumiko Tani was born in Japan and moved to London UK. A graduate of Central Saint Martins College of Art and design, she started ‘Re-cycle style’ in 2008.  Her Newspaper Collection caught the attention of various magazines and galleries in the UK and Japan who have since featured her work. Kumiko has worked with many different artists on workshops and exhibitions internationally. Currently she is designing and styling costumes for several theatre production companies including Secret Cinema, for a performance for Friends of the Earth, and for the musicians Sonja Kristina (of Curved Air), Gabby Young and Joji Hirota.
