Fashion in Motion is a series of live fashion events presented at the V&A. Featuring some of the greatest designers of our time, Fashion in Motion brings the catwalk experience to a wider audience by modelling it against the beautiful backdrop of the museum.

Milliner Philip Treacy was the first designer to feature, followed – in June 1999 – by his frequent collaborator, Alexander McQueen. Since then, the museum has hosted some of the most exciting work by the likes of Christian Lacroix, Erdem, Gareth Pugh, Molly Goddard, Roksanda, Vivienne Westwood and Yohji Yamamoto.
