Last week during Frieze London , Prada presented its third edition of Prada Mode — a traveling private club with a focus on contemporary culture that provides members a unique art experience along with music, dining and conversation — with the theme of Collective Intimacy in the heart of London at the 180 The Strand as a collaboration with The Vinyl Factory and The Showroom . In a space installed by installation artist Theaster Gates, the fashion house presented a series of exhibitions, performances and events across the span of a few days.
This included panel discussions with names like designers Grace Wales Bonner & Dozie Kanu, live performances by Samuel Ross, Bumi Thomas, poet Inua Ellams and a closing party with live performances by Jojo About and DJ sets by Zezi Ifore & James Messiah.
The event was the house’s second staging of Prada Mode this year following their set up at Art Basel Hong Kong in March.
