Fashion and Textile Museum
The Fashion and Textile Museum is a contemporary fashion museum in Bermondsey, London. Founded by British designer Zandra Rhodes in 2003, the museum is part of the Newham College of Further Education – one of Europe's largest further education colleges. Recent exhibitions at the museum have included; Liberty in Fashion,[1] Art Textiles,[2] 1920s Jazz Age Fashion & Photographs[3] and Missoni Art Colour.[4] Rather than running a permanent exhibition, the Fashion and Textile Museum offers an ongoing programme of temporary displays, including current exhibition, Night & Day: 1930s Fashion and Photographs which runs until January 2019.

Building
The museum is housed in a converted warehouse which was redesigned by the Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta in collaboration with Rhodes.[5][6] It was Legorreta's first and only building in Europe.[7][8] In addition to the exhibition space, the building contains a textile studio and printing workshop and private residential quarters.[6] The building has become a tourist attraction in its own right due to its colour scheme of hot pink, burnt orange, yellow, and bright blue.[5][6]
