Aware: Art, Fashion, Identity. If you live in London, GO SEE THIS NOW. Literally had tears in my eyes watching Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece" even though I have even seen it before. She sits on a stage and has everyone in the audience come up and cut a piece of her clothing off with scissors. So strong, so moving and in line with Yamamoto, McQueen, Cindy Sherman, Marina Abramavich and many, many more completely and utterly novel artists you really can't walk outta this show without being touched in some way.
