The Fashion and Textile Museum is the only museum in the UK of contemporary fashion and textile design.

The Fashion and Textile Museum was founded in 2003 by Dame Zandra Rhodes. Today, the museum is operated by Newham College, London – one of Europe's largest further education colleges. Situated in the heart of fashionable Bermondsey Village, the museum is housed in a distinctive building, designed by Mexican architect, Ricardo Legorreta.

Building

The museum is housed in a converted warehouse which was redesigned by the Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta in collaboration with Dame Zandra Rhodes.[1][2] It was Legorreta's first and only building in Europe.[3][4] In addition to the exhibition space, the building contains a textile studio, printing workshop, and private residential quarters.[2] 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.[1][2]
