Not only an homage to the fearless Suffragettes, Castelbajac's designs are an ode to his close friend Vivienne Westwood, who embodied this spirit too

As part of ‘Dreamscapes’, sketch’s Art & Design exhibition 2024, Mylands’ Film, Television and Theatre (FTT) Collection has been chosen to decorate ‘Home of the Braves’ - an installation across the façade, reception and iconic pod bathroom by prominent artist and fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.

‘Home of the Braves’ celebrates the pioneering courage and unapologetically fearless spirit of the Suffragettes. sketch, located at No. 9 Conduit Street, has long-standing ties with the Suffragettes, being the location for a public address calling for the enfranchisement of women by Dame Fawcett in 1869. Castelbajac has dedicated the exhibition to his close friend, Vivienne Westwood, who throughout her life embodied the soul of the Suffragettes.

Renowned for his multidisciplinary work across art, fashion, and design, which is characterised by a limited colour palette of blue, yellow, and red, Castelbajac has selected eight confident and powerful Mylands shades to bring his vision to life.

For over a century Mylands, has held an unrivalled association with the film, television and theatre industry which has seen its paints featured in some of the world’s greatest movie, TV and theatre productions including Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Star Wars and James Bond.
