London's Design Museum has unveiled its exhibition programme for 2020, with a major show about fashion brand Prada due to open in September.

The exhibition will include input from architects Rem Koolhaas and Herzog and de Meuron, both of whom have collaborated with the brand.

Other shows announced are an exploration of electronic music called Electronic, which will open in April; and a survey of trainers called Sneakers Unboxed: Studio to Street, opening in June.Electronic will evoke "the experience of a being in a club" while the sneakers show will spotlight "cult classics, limited edition silhouettes and rare colourways".
