After an initial meeting over a year ago, last Thursday the super creative girls from Patternity Anna Murray and Grace Winteringham opened the doors of the Londonewcastle Project Space in Shoreditch to launch their first exhibition-cum-festival SuperStripe: “A cultural festival of pattern exploration.”

The title of the exhibition really lives up to its name - as they have transformed the space into a superlative pattern festival. One never normally pays attention to the patterns we come across in our day to day, but this exhibition focuses and celebrates the pattern, raising the status of the humble stripe to SuperStripe status.

The exhibition is a mixture of pieces from the Patternity Studio archive and collaborations with artists throughout the creative industries, including photography, fashion and video.

As you enter, a huge monochrome wall graphic decorates the space and leads you in. It’s a great introduction to the exhibition which underlines Paternity’s principle of the power of Patterns. In the second gallery, along with sculptural items from everyday life on podiums there is the opportunity to do some weaving - fun, original and witty. (weaving is the new sewing - you read it here first).

A short film pulls you into gallery three, but don’t miss the pop-up shop in-between which showcases unique and original collaborations between the brand and fashion, design and homewares specialists.

Overall, the show is spot on and extremely well-timed as Fashion Houses have exploded with pattern this season. The production values are epic - at times you feel like you could be in the V&A not Shoreditch (in a good way).

On top of all of this there’s an incredibloe schedule of events,m workshops and talks planned too. Click here to download.

The show runs to 21st April, daily. Click here for details.
