Source Material: Lessons in Responsible Fashion

The impacts of overproduction and overconsumption in the global fashion system are a uniquely modern problem, but promising solutions can be found in textile traditions from the past. This exhibition pairs historical garments from The Textile Museum Collection with works by contemporary fashion designers returning to more responsible uses of materials and resources. 
 

Support for this exhibition is provided by the Contemporary Exhibitions Fund.
