Two New "Fashion Forward" Shows to Open at The TM

Two exhibitions with different takes on Japanese fashion are opening at The Textile Museum next Saturday, October 17. While the main show, Contemporary Japanese Fashion: The Mary Baskett Collection, includes over thirty finished garments (think everything from gowns to jumpsuits) the partner show Fabrics of Feathers and Steel: The Innovation of Nuno assembles the ingredients - examples of the shimmering and often playful fabrics from the Nuno Corporation of Japan. Each show promises to be inspiring - look forward to an innovative installation, public programs and (of course) great new exhibition-themed goods in the museum shop. See you next Saturday!
