Emerging brand Laundry Service is the brainchild of 24-year-old South London native, Georgina Johnson. Having cut her teeth with legendary couturiers Viktor & Rolf in Amsterdam and acclaimed stylist Jane How in London, Johnson’s label has ideals of community and creative independence at its core. And, having been confronted with the social issues in fashion, the designer has a desire to radically improve representation in the industry and access to the creative arts.
The Laundry is the latest expression of this desire. Billed as an arts curation and collaboration programme, The Laundry has been founded to maximise the platform and profile of women and black and minority ethnic creative practitioners, and to foster a creative community of like-minded individuals. This initiative kicked off on Friday, 4th August 2017 with an immersive and emotive exhibition titled Memories, staged at Protein Studios in East London. Here, artists will display work exploring the relationship between sound and storytelling. The exhibition will feature contributions from a truly diverse and international roster of creatives: Johnson herself, photographers Cary Fagan and Cecilie Rasmussen; poet Abondance Matanda; writer Kareem Reid; sound artist Aminah Ibrahim; artists Devin Morris, Hayley Martell and Evar Hussayni; and actress Kayla Meikle.

There will be a closing party with sounds provided by DJ's : Larry B, ELDON & MARTHA on the 9th. Don't miss this show!
Through Memories, The Laundry will shine a well-deserved light on these talented individuals.
