The Fashion Show: Everything But The Clothes

Opening June 2023

An access-all-areas insight into the world of the fashion show in the pre-digital age.

The Fashion Show: Everything But The Clothes peels back the glamorous façade of the fashion show to take you beyond the catwalk into a world of total design.

Drawing on the personal archive of renowned fashion writer and editor, Iain R Webb, the exhibition also features Webb's sketches from the front row alongside memorabilia, invitations and more from a star-studded collection of names including Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Gaultier, McCartney, Versace, and Vuitton.

Curated by Iain R Webb, Professor of Fashion & Design at Kingston School of Art, in collaboration with V&A Dundee.

This free display is in the Michelin Design Gallery in the upper foyer of the museum.
