ICI Fashion Show

DD090240

Delia created a musical background for the first fashion show to use electronic music.

The event, held on the 6th April 1967, was sponsored by Imperial Chemical Industries to promote their synthetic fibres in collaboration with the Royal College of Art at Hornsey.

It is a medley of other pieces of hers, not simply played one after the other, but artfully blended into a single continuous soundscape.
