Source Material: Lessons in Responsible Fashion explores three strategies for addressing today’s fashion crisis: extending a garment’s longevity, promoting recycling and reuse, and embracing local materials. Drawing from The Textile Museum Collection, the exhibition highlights how cultures across time have cherished the resources needed to make textiles — mending or transforming old garments and sourcing fibers from the immediate environment. These historical examples are presented in conversation with the work of contemporary designers who are reimagining responsible fashion today.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the Contemporary Exhibitions Fund.
