Artist Textiles Picasso to Warhol - Fashion and Textile Museum


Many vintage fans will have seen this exhibition of textile design by famous artists at the Fashion and Textile Museum, London (ends 17th May 2014)

The exhibition (at the museum founded by Zandra Rhodes) highlights the exploration into textiles by twentieth century artists such as Dali, Picasso and Warhol as they sought to make their work less elitist and more relevant to the people.

For those who are unable to visit, here are some photo highlights of the clothing and fabrics on view.
