The Fashion and Textile Museum is the first of its kind to showcase the talent of local and international fashion and textile designers. Located in London, one of the fashion capitals of the world, the museum represents the lifelongdream of its founder, Zandra Rhodes. Showcasing the best of vintage and modern fashion and textile design, rotating exhibitions will include work by such names as Vivienne Westwood, Jean Muir and Ossie Clark.
Situated in the heart of fashionable Bermondsey Village, in a fantastic building designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta, the FTM aims not just to display and collect items relating to fashion, jewellery and textile design, but to offer inspiration to a new generation of creatives. Now redeveloped and operated by Newham College, the museum is a hub of learning, ideas and networking for the fashion and jewellery industry.
