About this event
Having worked with some of the world’s biggest fashion houses and musicians, Peter Saville exists in a territory of his own. His practice can be located somewhere between art and design – merging aspects of both, his unparalleled approach has resulted in a unique contribution to culture.
His journey began at 22 when he co-founded and became the Art Director of Factory Records, granting him unprecedented freedom to create without the typical constraints of commercial artists. Through his iconic record sleeves for Joy Division and New Order, Saville defied conventions by sometimes omitting crucial information or using visual codes, which challenged traditional modes of consumption and communication. Saville’s visionary approach broadened visual literacy beyond mere textual interpretation, shaping his enduring impact on contemporary culture.
Among his fashion collaborations are celebrated brands such as Dior, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons, Lacoste, Burberry and most recently Chanel.
In conversation with Editor-in-Chief of the Real Review, Jack Self, Peter will be speaking to his distinct design process and his career to date.
About Sarabande Foundation
Sarabande was set up by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who left the majority of his estate to support creative and visionary talent. In addition to providing scholarships and studio space for artists, Sarabande produces a number of events, from the practical to the inspirational.
Sarabande operates from a listed Stable Block conversion in Haggerston, where 15 studios form a creative community with designers and artists from multiple disciplines. Immersed in the hub of East London’s rich creative spirit, Sarabande exudes all that encompasses the creative sphere. The building is home to a plethora of artisans reflecting the multifarious span of Lee’s talent and the variety of craftspeople he worked with his own collections. Amongst others, our tactile artists include sculptors, fashion designers, jewellers, textile designers, painters, performance artists, silversmiths, costume designers, ceramicists, and dancers. Alongside these, Sarabande also houses filmmakers, animators, photographers, digital designers, and visual artists.
