SAY HELLO TO... SARABANDE SESSIONS
We are sharing a selection of our talks and workshops which look at some of the creative arts that Sarabande supports: art, fashion, film and jewellery.
TONIGHT 5PM BST: Workshops: Writing Your Press Release with Rebecca Ward. It doesn’t matter if you’re a designer, artist, jeweller or maker, we all have to get our communication right and writing a press release is a skillset that you just need to know. Led by a communications specialist whose clients include the V&A, Tate, British Fashion Council and Somerset House, join in for top tips from journalists of leading art and fashion publications on what they want to see in a press release, thoughts on images and word count, to the importance of tailoring it for a specific publication.

SUPPORTING VISIONARY CREATIVE TALENT
THE LEGACY
Sarabande was set up by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who left the majority of his estate to support creative and visionary talent. In addition to providing scholarships and studio space for artists, Sarabande produces a number of events, from the practical to the inspirational.
Lee Alexander McQueen
Lee Alexander McQueen CBE was born in London on 17 March 1969, the youngest of six children. He left school at the age of 16 to begin an apprenticeship with Anderson & Sheppard and then at Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row in London. From there he moved to the theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans, where he mastered 6 methods of pattern cutting from the melodramatic 16th Century, to the razor sharp tailoring which has become a McQueen signature.
After persuading his way onto the MA Fashion Design at Central St Martins, Lee showed his MA collection in 1992, which was bought in its entirety by Isabella Blow. He began the Alexander McQueen label in 1994 and continually pushed the limits of fashion until, in October 1996 he was appointed Chief Designer at the French Haute Couture House Givenchy where he worked until March of 2001.

Sarabande Foundation was established because Lee passionately believed that creative minds with the potential to push boundaries should be given the same opportunities he’d enjoyed.
Sarabande is there to observe and facilitate – the partners and friends of Lee are there to guide and inspire.
The genesis of all Lee’s achievements was his open-minded approach to absorbing diverse creative influences and applying them in new and exciting ways. It is that openness and bravery that Sarabande seeks to inspire in future generations of creatives.
