“Time Out” last week previews an exhibition “Old Skool, New Skool”, which is going to be on at the V&A Museum of Childhood in November 2007:
Kids have always been adept at adapting and accessorising their school uniform. In helping to create this exhibition, they’ve been allowed to go a stage further by becoming ‘clients’ for students from London College of Fashion.
Taking on board suggestions… LCF students have designed uniforms from a child’s perspective, exploring the potential of new materials and technologies to produce clothing that might improve the health, education and well-being of children.
Ideas explored include jackets with solar panels, bags with homing devices and shoes that enforce physical activity.
Excellent! Now I would like somebody to create a uniform with a Kevlar panel over the seat area. Put it in the skirt pleats or straight in the knickers. Thanks.
