Fashioning Our World
Unpicking the past to thread together the future
Fashioning Our World worked with young people (aged 11 – 25) to discover hidden stories of sustainability told by clothes and accessories in the past. The project worked in a collaborative way to share these powerful stories with the community, change attitudes to fashion in the future and help fight the climate crisis.

Fashioning Our World project aims
Fashioning Our World offered young people (aged 11- 25) a chance to:
Work alongside experts and museum volunteers to discover the hidden stories of sustainability found in collections of historic clothes and accessories.
Learn the skills to work on their own clothes – such as visible mending, patching and remaking.
Make a positive difference by inspiring others in the community to think differently about fashion sustainability
The workshops were run at The Salisbury Museum and Dorset Museum. If you would like more information, please contact Katy England at The Salisbury Museum katyengland@salisburymuseum.org.uk or get in touch here.
