Exhibition exploring how fashion and nature have been intertwined throughout history and what their future relationship might be, part of the Fashioning Our Future project.
Fashion & Nature opens at The Salisbury Museum on Saturday 13 February 2027, and it runs through to Sunday 9 May. It takes over the Major Exhibition Galleries, so it's a proper focal point for the museum over the spring.
The exhibition looks at how fashion and nature have been intertwined throughout history. It's a broad sweep: plants, animals, birds and insects have provided the materials for clothing and accessories, and they've provided the dyes that colour them, too. At the same time, garments have long been decorated with designs inspired by the natural world. The show asks whether that thread between fashion and nature has broken, or if it can regrow to thrive in the future.
It's part of the Fashioning Our Future project, and that's where the local side comes in. The exhibition was created by young people from around Salisbury working alongside the museum team, volunteers and experts, with support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. So it's not just a curated display brought in from elsewhere; it's something built here in the city by local people.
