FINE PRINT
Her stem, pear and flower prints already appear in many British homes – now Orla Kiely’s patterns will take pride of place in London’s Fashion and Textile Museum. A Life in Pattern traces the development of the designer’s aesthetic from her Irish childhood through the 20-year rise of her now global brand. Expect a scholarly – and colourful – exploration of her most recognisable prints across fashion, accessories and homeware, with choice photographs of fans such as Alexa Chung and the Duchess of Cambridge. Until 23 September, ftmlondon.org. Georgina Lucas
