This is the first time NIGO&#8217;s work has been presented in a museum context outside Japan.<\/p>\n<p>The show, From Japan with Love, is structured across four thematic sections and includes a recreation of NIGO&#8217;s teenage bedroom, hand-thrown ceramics and a life-size glass tea house. The curatorial scope extends across fashion, music, architecture and interior design, reflecting a career that has consistently operated at the intersection of cultural disciplines rather than within any single one.<\/p>\n<p>For design professionals with an interest in how creative identity is built and sustained across decades, the exhibition offers a substantial body of work to examine. NIGO&#8217;s collaborations with Nike, Louis Vuitton, Uniqlo and a wide range of other brands give the retrospective a breadth that goes beyond fashion history into broader questions of design, craft and cultural exchange.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 32px 0; border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Design+Museum+224+Kensington+High+Street+London+W8&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first major retrospective of Japanese creative director NIGO spans thirty years of fashion, music and design at the Design Museum in Kensington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,55,80],"tags":[],"location":[71],"class_list":["post-10244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-exhibitions-and-showcases","category-uk-events","location-london"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10244"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10700,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10244\/revisions\/10700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/10699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10244"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/location?post=10244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
