' BEDTIME ACTIVISTS '
On Valentines Day 2003 JULIAN AND SOPHIE will check into a beautiful luxury suite at the Great Eastern Hotel, and spend the duration of London Fashion Week in bed. An audience of international fashion magazine & newspaper editors, television crews, photographers and department store buyers, will be invited to their bedroom to view the JULIAN AND SOPHIE Autumn/Winter 2003 collection, entitled 'Pyjama Combat'. Their Autumn Winter 2003 collection is inspired by sleep and restlessness: pyjamas, nighties, and combat fatigues, with garments made from duvets and bed-linen. The 14th February is London's 'Make Love not War' day, and the 15th will see a huge anti-war demonstration in London organised by the Stop the War Coalition and CND. "Although our decision to become 'Bedtime Activists' during LFW is pacifist in its intention, the main impetus behind it is more a sense of disillusion with the catwalk show circuit at a time of impending war. We have no desire to demonstrate politically against war in any conventional way. We are making a stand for escapism and retreat, rather than direct confrontation: Love, not War." Julian Roberts and Sophie Cheung Venue: Great Eastern Hotel, Liverpool Street EC2 |
