Enter the surrealist world of Elsa Schiaparelli in the spring 2026 issue of V&A Magazine, as the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to her life and work opens at V&A South Kensington. The novelist Susie Boyt takes readers back to her radical 1920s origins and the brand’s current artistic director, Daniel Roseberry, is interviewed about bringing her vision into the 21st century.

 

The design team behind the permanent galleries at the soon-to-open V&A East Museum in Stratford reveals how it brought the city streets inside; and Sir Frank Bowling reflects on his career and a new commission for the museum’s inaugural exhibition, The Music Is Black: A British Story. Plus, a 50th birthday tribute to Aardman Animations from Mark Kermode, who is a fan of its iconic clay characters, journalist Cindy Yu finds out about contemporary Chinese studio crafts, and dramatic new photography of precious pieces from the reopened Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Galleries by Joss McKinley.
