Cunnington & Sanderson exhibit garments and images including the pillow dress and caution collection at Bankfield Museum in Halifax.
Exploring the influence of the West Riding of Yorkshire on contemporary fashion, this exhibition brings together works from a range of fashion designer's and creatives
who have been inspired by the many elements that make the area unique. Drawing on themes such as landscape, community spirit, wit and humour and the enduring influence of the textile industry, this multi-disciplinary showcase celebrates the distinctive character of the place and the creative people connected to it. A curatorial collaboration between Leeds Arts University and Bankfield Museum has enabled an exciting opportunity to utilise the extensive fashion archive at the museum, positioning historical items alongside modern garments and fashion media.
"We feel privileged to call this outstanding countryside our back garden," said Sanderson.
Featuring works by Cunnington & Sanderson, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Red or Dead, Edward Crutchley, Nial Cottrell, Kate Brittain, Neesha Tulsi, Champaneria, Sadie Clayton, Rav Matharu, Mary Benson, Vivek Vadoliya, John Bulmer, Martin Parr and more.
