Description

Like food and shelter, clothing is a necessity as well as a cultural expression. The fashion industry employs millions around the world and is a driving force behind the global economy. But fashion is also ephemeral, whimsically responding to changes in technology, taste, the economy, and social mores. The journey fashion takes from inception to production and from popular to passe is a fascinating story worthy of being told. The collection of over 10,000 garments and accessories, dating from the 17th century to the present, represent an array of international designers, from Adrian to Zandra Rhodes. Alongside historical holdings, the museum is building a contemporary Canadian designer collection as well as a comprehensive library and archives of fashion related publications and documents.
