With Lightroom’s four-storey walls as our 360-degree canvas, we will experience and interact with designers’ visions up close, in new ways and at unprecedented scale. Inventing the Runway will use original animation in an experience that is both visceral and insightful, with immersive sound design and a score fusing original composition with classical and pop music, all of which will evoke the worlds when iconic shows shifted the cultural landscape.
