Iconic looks in pop cultures designed by British fashion designers — resembling the swan dress designed by Marjan Pejoski that Björk wore to the Oscars in 2001 and a Harri latex suit worn by Sam Smith to this yr’s Brit Awards — will go on display on the upcoming “Rebel: 30 Years of London Fashion” exhibition on the Design Museum.

The exhibition can even showcase the outfit Harry Styles wore in his music video for “Golden” by S.S. Daley; a neon purple dress from Christopher Kane’s debut spring 2007 catwalk collection; the upcycled Union Jack jacket by Russell Sage that was worn by Kate Moss for British Vogue, and the Molly Goddard blue ruffle dress Rihanna wore and which later went viral on Instagram.

Together, the showcase will feature around 100 looks from groundbreaking debuts and early collections, and this stuff might be shown alongside movies, drawings, memorabilia and never-before-seen archive material from a few of these U.K.-based designers.

The swam dress, for instance, was first unveiled at Pejoski’s Newgen runway show in London for fall 2001, where it was spotted by the singer, who also wore it on the quilt for her fourth studio album Vespertine. The dress has only ever been on public display twice in Latest York before, meaning that its presence within the exhibition marks the very first time it’s to be seen by the general public within the U.K.
