The Fashion and Textile Museum is a cutting edge centre for contemporary fashion, textiles and jewellery founded by Zandra Rhodes. It has permanent and changing exhibitions as well as the Academy which runs courses for individual students and businesses.
On the 4th February there is an "in conversation" session with Debbie Moore, the founder of Pineapple Dance Studios. There is also a current exhibiton called "30 years of Pineapple" which runs until the 24th February, 2010.
Future exhibitions include "Very Sanderson - 150 years of English Decoration". It starts on the 19th March 2010 and finishes on the 13th June, 2010. Sanderson was founded by Arthur Sanderson in 1860 and for the last 150 years has been at the forefront of English furnishings. The company produced the first coordinated collection of mass-produced wallpapers and fabrics in Britain as well as a range of household paints. During its history it has collected a huge archive of wallpapers and textiles representing the many changing faces and fads of interior decoration. It is hoped that the exhibition will cater for a wide range of tastes from Arts and Crafts style, Fifties designs and Pop patterns as well as contemporary art and decor.
The address of the Fashion and Textile Museum is 83 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3XF.
