LOVERBOY Upgrade Yourself Takeover

Upgrade Yourself, Somerset House's creative skills programme aimed at deepening and widening engagement, looks to remove barriers and increase representation in the cultural sector, with a focus on young aspiring and emerging creative talent.

Your free ticket to the takeover gives you access to:

• After-hours entry to The Lore of LOVERBOY, the first exhibition on international fashion powerhouse Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY, celebrating 10 years of club to catwalk in 2024.
• The chance to get creative and involved in a crafts-based workshop with multi-disciplinary artist and designer, Clara Chu. Join her for a unique up-cycling experience where you’ll transform discarded household and industrial items into stylish accessories by reimagining the concept of a bag.
• An insightful talk on the art of fashion design, led by three experienced tutors from Central Saint Martins: Charles Jeffrey, Stephanie Cooper, and Joshua Beaty. Drawing from our extensive experience teaching at one of the world's leading fashion schools, we will explore effective approaches to creative work.
• An exhibition tour with Charles Jeffrey, that will delve into the creative process and stories behind the show.
• The Upgrade Yourself Social – with a medley of perfectly curated tunes from the Adonis and Dalston Superstore resident J. ARIA who will soundtrack the night.
