Source Material: Lessons in Responsible Fashion
The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum, Washington, DC

This exhibition argues that the overproduction and overconsumption of fashion in today’s world pose a threat to our environment. Historical garments from the Textile Museum’s collection will be displayed along with clothing by contemporary fashion designers who have returned to the more respectful attitude toward materials and resources that the older works embody.
