The pieces, which are part of a project titled Britain Creates 2012: Fashion & Art Collusion, will be unveiled today before going on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum followed by an installation in Selfridges windows during late July and August.
Designer collaborations include Hussein Chalayan and Gavin Turk, Giles Deacon and Jeremy Deller and Mary Katrantzou and Mark Titchner.
