The Fashion and Textile Museum is an English museum.

The Fashion and Textile Museum was founded in 2003 by Zandra Rhodes and is operated by the Newham College of Further Education. Located in Bermondsey, it is in a building designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.

Building

[edit]

The museum is in a converted warehouse that was redesigned by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta in collaboration with Zandra Rhodes.[1][2] It was Legorreta's first and only building in Europe.[3][4] In addition to the exhibition space, the building has a textile studio, printing workshop, and private residential quarters.[2] The building has become a tourist attraction due to its colour scheme of hot pink, burnt orange, yellow, and bright blue.[1][2]
