Fashion and Textile Museum-Swedish Fashion: Exploring a New Identity

Swedish Fashion: Exploring a New Identity
6 February to 17 May 2009

Opening Times: Wednesday – Sunday, 11am – 6pm
Featuring: 13 designers including Ann-Sofie Back, Sandra Backlund and Helena Horstedt

This new exhibition showcases a new wave of Swedish design talent, with the work of thirteen fashion and jewellery designers who challenge the stereotypical picture of Swedish fashion as blonde, functional and minimal. Since the late 1990s there has been a growing sense of a new guard emerging – putting the country on the map with a burgeoning number of fashion labels and designers. Created by the Swedish Institute and specially enhanced and adapted for the FTM, this exhibition showcases the bold, the avant-garde and the surprising. Admission prices: £5 for adults, £3 for students and concessions, free for under 12’s
