A couple of weeks ago I visited the Manchester Art Gallery to view the exhibition ‘Unpicking Couture’. This exhibition shows some pieces of haute couture from famous designers and also gives the visitor a peek into how this exhibition was designed/planned.
I took some photos of an interesting sleeve part of an ‘inside out’ overcoat:
I’d love to incorporate such a sleeve in a coat some time:
A quick sketch of one of the dresses on display:
A complex sleeve on a historical garment:
There was also information on Stitched Up, an initiative to inspire action on sustainable fashion:
The exhibition is not that big but if you are in/around Manchester, it’s worth a visit! You can find more information on the exhibition here.
