His first U.S exhibition wardrobe at S.C.A.D Fashion Museum "Be Yourself; Everyone Else Is Already Taken" features 30 ensembles styled by Lismore exclusively for S.C.A.D Fashion Museum from among hundreds of items on loan from Lismore's extensive personal wardrobe and archive film footage of his life.
