​Design Museum to open with a focus on fashion reactions

London's Design Museum is set to mark its grand reopening with an exhibition featuring 11 installations created by some of the most forward thinking designers and architectures of our time, such as Hussein Chalayan, OMA and Neri Oxman.

The design museum's, which has relocated to High Street Kensington, first exhibition aims to explore each artist interpretation of a different issue occurring in our world today. Set to open its doors to the public on November 24, Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World features a wide range of thought-inducing concerns, such as sentient robots, slow fashion, settled nomads and networked sexuality and how they have influenced design. "This is a bold, multidisciplinary and global exhibition that aims to capture the mood of the present and establish the Design Museum as the home of design debate," said the Museum in a statement.

Chalayan installation, entitled "Room Toon", aims to explore the anxieties and worries people living in the world's cities experience, such as sexual desires and fear of terrorist attacks. The designer does this in the form of wearable devices, which detect the wearers' emotions and then projects them outwards. Another fashion designer, Ma Ke, installation is dedicated to her ongoing project Wuyong, which focuses on slow fashion. The designer portrays her rejection of consumerism and the world of fast fashion by viewing each of her creations, which depict a strong link to her home China, as works of art.

Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World open tomorrow and is set to run until April 23, 2017.
