Lightbox exhibition live online
Exhibition will be online in the gallery below, and on social media @lcbdepot
This April our programme is focusing on fashion. The industry is in the process of a radical shift away from fast fashion to a more sustainable approach to both materials and manufacturing.
The exhibition will highlight the latest designs from DMU’s School of Fashion and Textiles, Leicester-based designers & makers, and innovators in sustainable fashion, textiles & practice from across the country.
Due to Coronavirus restrictions the exhibition will now be displayed online.
