Fashioning Our World Exhibition

Saturday 10 February 2024 - Sunday 12 May 2024

The Fashioning Our World exhibition is currently on at The Salisbury Museum. This exhibition tell the powerful 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.

It 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 features a range of historic garments and accessories from The Salisbury Museum and Dorset Museum fashion collections as well as work by fashion designers, sustainable fashion campaigners and young people taking part in the project.

Alongside these, the exhibition will showcase work by well known and emerging fashion designers and fashion students displayed on a series of miniature mannequins.  

If you would like to know more, please get in touch.
