As part of our ongoing support for emerging creatives, we’re spotlighting In Parallel, a student-led exhibition exploring contrast, space and contemporary fashion.
There is a certain kind of energy that builds before anything fully takes shape. Not hype. Something quieter. A tension. A sense that something is forming, but not yet fully visible.
That is where In Parallel: States of Contrast sits.
Taking over Kingston University’s Town House this March, the exhibition explores contrast not just as black and white, but as presence and absence. Structure and fluidity. What is revealed, and what is deliberately left unresolved.
Bringing together work from MA Fashion Design students at Kingston School of Art, In Parallel looks beyond garments on display. It considers how fashion exists in space. How it is experienced. How architecture shifts perception and how atmosphere changes the way we read clothing.
Town House becomes part of the dialogue. Its open, contemporary structure meets a stripped-back monochrome world, creating tension between environment and form.
Live performances from music students will run throughout the exhibition, shaping the rhythm of the space rather than sitting in the background. Here, fashion is not static. It moves. It responds. It exists in conversation with sound, movement and presence.
The project mirrors its concept. Minimal. Considered. Process-led. Rather than over-explaining, In Parallel builds gradually through fragments, contrast and feeling.
It is not trying to shout.
It is asking you to look closer.
