From April 22, 2010, Akihiko Izukura will do an exhibition and workshop at Nottingham Trent University. in England. In conjunction with the exhibition, Izukura will be running a series of natural textile workshops. The head of fashion and knitwear in Nottingham Trent University’s School of Art and Design, Julie Pinches who had viewed Izukura’s exhibition held in Kobe Fashion Museum 2008, said: “When I first saw Izukura’s work in Japan I knew the impact it would have on a UK audience and was really keen to be able to show it here at the university. The intensity of colour and fusion of craft techniques and processes will amaze the viewer, but what really strikes is the message that contemporary fashion and textile design can be fully sustainable and an inspiration to the next generation of designers.”
