The first museum exhibition devoted to the much-loved Spanish footwear brand Camper, Life on Foot marks the 40 year anniversary of this independent family-run business. Life on Foot will showcase Camper’s traditional shoemaking skills, contemporary design practice, the latest technologies and newly-developed materials alongside the company’s many collaborations, which have seen them work with some of the world's leading contemporary designers, including Bernhard Willhelm, Nendo and Jasper Morrison.
This new exhibition in central London will bring together sketched concepts, prototype products, as-yet-unreleased pieces and new photography; giving an unprecedented picture of how a complete seasonal collection is researched, created and put together - from the composition of the soles to the graphics on the box. For young and aspiring fashion mavericks to dedicated followers of the brand, this exhibition promises to delight and entertain all ages.
