More than one hundred symbolic artifacts from the Design Collection will be featured in the exhibition “Textiles: The Art of Mankind” at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, celebrating the deep entanglement between textiles, people, and our world. Through the juxtaposing of stunning garments, dress and textiles originating from around the world, the exhibition aims to connect with everyone, proving the existence of a universal, shared narrative. Exhibition pieces express global identities as well as our cultural regard for animals. There are depictions of complex ideas, illustrations of the origins of computing in weaving, and the antiquity of the principle of 'waste not want not'.
