No? Two exhibitions beginning on 4th May will remind you. The London College of Fashion will be exhibiting the expansive wardrobe of the late Mrs Korner who donated her formal suits and dresses from Hardy Amies and Norman Hartnell, together with homemade items, to the college's archive. For these exhibitions the Korner collection will be divided between LCF's Fashion Space gallery and the Judith Clark Costumer gallery.
