Fashioning Our World

About

This exhibition will tell the stories of clothes and accessories from the past that have been repurposed, mended, altered and looked after. It asks whether this can inspire us to think differently about sustainable fashion in the future.

The show is part of the Fashioning Our World project, which is working with young people (aged 11 – 25) to share these stories with the community, change attitudes to fashion in the future and help fight the climate crisis.

Fashioning Our World has been co-curated by local young people, working alongside the museum team, volunteers and experts. It will feature a range of historic garments and accessories from The Salisbury Museum fashion collection as well as work by fashion designers, sustainable fashion campaigners and young people taking part in the project.
