C.P. Company’s CINQUANTA exhibition is taking place at Darwen Market!
As part of the British Textile Biennial, iconic Italian sportswear brand, C.P. Company, is exhibiting designs from their fascinating history in Darwen Market’s repurposed basement car park. Exclusive designs from the collaboration between C.P. Company and adidas Spezial will also be revealed. This is especially noteworthy for Darwen, as Gary Aspden, the mastermind behind Spezial, is a born and bred Darrener.
adidas Spezial x C.P. Company artwork
We’re sure you will have noticed the impressive 40-foot-tall artwork of Luke Shaw donning a C.P. Company x adidas Spezial jacket, on the former Natwest bank building. It has certainly brightened up the previously dreary wall and, and it’s a fantastic tribute to the exhibition. The artwork was commissioned and paid for by adidas and is by artist, Peter Barber.
