In Good Company: Nicole Farhi and Lucille Lewin

These names may be familiar from fashion – Lucille founded the brand Whistles whilst Nicole was Head Designer at French Connection and founder of the eponymous Nicole Farhi label. When each of these women chose to leave their long, successful careers in fashion, they both then chose to become full-time sculptors. The exhibition has been organised in association with Selina Skipwith, an independent art advisor and curator.

This exhibition is from the In Good Company series, a project born from the Coronavirus pandemic, which encouraged friends Nicole, Lucille, and Selina to come together and mount their own exhibitions. Selina Skipwith says “In Good Company is a very special exhibition as it shows the work of two amazing women who have both forged new successful careers as sculptors following their previous successes in the fashion world. Lucille and Nicole are an inspiration to women of all ages thinking about starting new careers, not necessarily in the arts, whatever stage they are in life.”
