Teacher View: Dirty Looks

A group of teachers sit in a room laughing.

Calling all teachers! Join us for an introduction to Dirty Looks, a bold new exhibition in our Gallery that questions what is beautiful, and what the future of fashion can be. 

Featuring work from Hussein Chalayan, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, and Maison Margiela alongside works from emerging designers, the Dirty Looks exhibition explores practices that can point us to a new way of thinking about a sustainable fashion future. 

This event just for teachers includes free entry to the exhibition and an introduction from a member of our curatorial team. There'll be an opportunity to meet and connect with fellow educators, and to find out more about our Schools programmes. Plus, our dedicated team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about bringing your learners along to the exhibition. 

The Dirty Looks exhibition runs in our Gallery from Thu 25 Sep—Sun 25 Jan.
