The Body Adorned

The sight of anorectic models strutting like robots along the catwalk for London Fashion Week 2012 reminded me that the Horniman Museum will be showing The Body Adorned: Dressing London from 24 March until 6 January 2013. This exhibition isn't just about clothes, but about everything from tattoos to scarification, exploring how body adornment has become part of London life across times and cultures. You'll find it in the Temporary Exhibition Space (title link).
