The Archive

The BEATRIX ONG archive will be housed in a new home.

The following is from an interview with University of Arts London:

Alongside speaking at events, you have recently decided to donate selected items of your collection to the Archive at University of Arts London.  Tell us more about the collection and why you are keen to give it back to your old college?

I launched my brand in 2002, a few years after I had left my role at Jimmy Choo. I am really proud of the design and production journey I have taken since then, but as an archive, it rarely sees the light of day. The last time it was accessed was for the Victoria and Albert Museum when they selected some pieces to collect for their permanent exhibition. Over a decade's worth of my work is unseen and I would really like it to be put to good use for the students at UAL to be able to view the shoes up close, ask questions about design processes, production, technical issues so that it may be able to help in their own work.

Look out for the announcement and special events at London College of Fashion and Central St Martins to mark the receipt of the archive.
