The exhibition charts the expansion of mass production and man-made materials, which brought fashionable dress to the masses but also contributed to the air and water pollution to which the textile industry is a contributor. This conflict, which has become critical in the 21st century with the huge scale of the global fashion industry, is at the heart of this exhibition. Many types of solutions for reducing fashion’s impact on the environment are showcased.
