FASHION FICTIONS WORLD TOUR
Follow the trail to discover objects and images from diverse sustainable fashion worlds
This trail around Nottingham's Creative Quarter showcases objects, images and films created to represent an array of fictional parallel worlds. These worlds are highly diverse, but have one thing in common: they all involve more sustainable and satisfying ways of living with our clothes.
The exhibits have been created by people taking part in Fashion Fictions. This international project was founded in 2020 by Dr Amy Twigger Holroyd, Associate Professor of Fashion and Sustainability at Nottingham Trent University. It brings people together to imagine, explore and enact alternative fashion worlds as an unconventional route to real-world change.
Creative Quarter and Sneinton Market Avenues, Nottingham
Open to 22 April 2023
