The Steven Campbell Trust is delighted to announce that Beca Lipscombe and Mairi MacKenzie will deliver the Steven Campbell Trust Annual Lecture, 2019. Entitled 'Dressing Above Your Station' the event will look at the life and work of the painter Steven Campbell, considering what it means to dress for the life you want rather than dress for the life you have. They will reflect upon the role of clothing and textiles in Campbell's work, aspirations and cultural identity in order to recount their own aspirations growing up in Scotland and the routes they took in an attempt to develop a vernacular panache. Central to this will be a collection of clothes by the Japanese fashion company, Comme des Garçons acquired by Campbell and his wife Carol in exchange for one of his paintings whilst living in New York in the early 1980s.
