Zilver

In a bid to promote a more sustainable mindset, fashion brand Zilver is hosting a pop-up space and exhibition at Walkers Court, bringing guests into its eco-aware universe. Do Disrupt’, created with curator Mehdi Dakhli welcomes artists that question the status quo in exploring new media, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and upcycling. Among them are  Marc-Aurèle Debut, Andreas Greiner, Armin Keplinger, and Giuseppe Lo Schiavo. Zilver also unveils its latest collection, Leo Part II, which features Flwrdwn by Pangaia, an insulating material made out of organic flowers and its collaboration with Tino Seubert on the brand's first Lifestyle piece, an aluminium chair accented with hand-hand-woven Zilver organic apple leather.

Dior men’s artistic director Kim Jones and close friend and collaborator Daniel Arsham – whom we enlisted to create the limited-edition cover for Wallpaper's 25th anniversary issue – come together for a talk at The Whiteley Gallery, in celebration of Arsham's ‘Eroded Summer’. Jones and Arsham teamed up for Dior's S/S 2020 menswear collection, with a show set featuring the artist's idiosyncratic monolithic sculptures in a state of decay, and a series of ready-to-wear pieces inspired by his partially eroded relics.

The talk will take place at 10am on 14 October 2021 at The Whiteley Gallery in Bayswater. ‘Eroded Summer’ runs 16 – 17 October at the gallery.
