Went to the Private View at the Fashion & Textiles Museum in Bermondsey Street, near London Bridge. Zandra Rhodes, the founder of the museum was there to open the show, with her pink hair, looking great.  The couple from Denver who had collected most of the pieces being shown were also there - she in an amazing outfit, black & white checks with red spots.


There were some fantastic textiles. The exhibition is well worth a visit.


Zandra talked about Textile & Surface Designers being the Cinderellas of the design industry - of how rarely we know their names, of how little they are credited as having importance - and yet how much their work is integral to the enjoyment we take in what we wear & how we enhance the environments around us. Camac aims to be part of the movement to increase awareness of Textile & Surface Design!
