Treasures of the Royal Courts
09/03/2013 > 14/07/2013
Experience the majesty of the courts of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I to Ivan the Terrible and the early Romanovs in a major exhibition at the V&A. From royal portraits, costume and jewellery to armour and heraldry, Treasures of the Royal Courts tells the story of diplomacy between the British Monarchy and the Russian Tsars through more than 150 magnificent objects.
A rarely-shown painting of Elizabeth I, Shakespeare's First Folio, a suit of armour tailor-made for Henry VIII and the legendary ruby-studded Drake Star reveal the spectacular world of kings, queens, merchants and courtiers from 1509 to 1685. At the heart of the exhibition is the beautiful English and French silver given to the Tsars by the British royal family, on exclusive loan from the Moscow Kremlin Museums in celebration of 500 years of Anglo-Russian exchange.

A Life in Colour
22/03/2013 > 29/06/2013
‘Kaffe Fassett – A Life in Colour’ is a celebration of the work of one of the great practitioners of contemporary craft. This exhibition, the first in London since Kaffe Fassett’s record-breaking show at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1988, features over 100 works within a dramatic installation designed by Sue Timney.
Exhibition highlights include extravagantly-coloured 9-foot-wide knitted shawls, coats and throws, patchwork fabrics shown in a glorious selection of quilts, as well as items especially created for this exhibit and not seen in public before. The design also features a ‘feeling’ wall that allows visitors to touch and better understand the textiles on display and their construction. From his childhood in the creative community of Big Sur, California, to his career as a painter, and later as a knitwear and textile designer in London from the 1960s to the present day, Kaffe’s ability to blend pattern, texture and colour has won him a dedicated following of enthusiasts.

Painted Pomp:
Art and Fashion in the Age of Shakespeare
Art and Fashion in the Age of Shakespeare
One of the most important groups of Jacobean portraits in the country forms the centrepiece of this exceptional exhibition. Nine sumptuous full-length portraits by William Larkin, painted around 1613-18, will be displayed alongside rare survivals of dress from the period with live interpretation to reveal the heights of the art and fashion of four hundred years ago.The portraits depict members of an extended family, relatives of Thomas Howard, the first Earl of Suffolk and may have been made to mark the marriage between the Cecil and Howard families, the cream of Jacobean courtly society during a turbulent period of intrigue and social change. The paintings come originally from the collection of the Earls of Suffolk and Berkshire at Charlton Park, Malmesbury, not far from Bath.
To help bring the portraits alive, they will be accompanied by a gorgeous selection of early seventeenth century clothing and accessories. These include exceptionally rare fans, shoes, beautiful punto in aria - literally stitches in the air - lace, remarkable gloves and gauntlets embroidered in silks and trimmed with fabulously expensive gold and silver, and elaborate men's shirts of fine blackwork embroidery and cutwork.
This was a time when both men and women dressed to impress and when men's clothes were often even more extravagant than those of their wives. To accompany the historic clothing we are borrowing two beautiful replica outfits from Shakepeare's Globe that were made for Mark and Juliet Rylance by leading historic dress designer Jenny Tiramani.

> 31/12/2013
The exhibit will show the museum collection as it has never been seen before. Rather than a traditional display, visitors will have the rare chance to enter the museum store to see hundreds of artefacts on racks and rails, in boxes and cupboards, and on shelves and display stands.
From Kashmir and Paisley woollen shawls to crochet trimmed cotton drawers and camisoles, from colourful silk satin shoes of the 1880s and 1890s to cobweb lace and silk fringed parasols with carved wooden handles, Behind the Scenes at the Fashion Museum will present the riches of the Fashion Museum’s historic collection to museum visitors.
Manager of Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Fashion Museum, Rosemary Harden said: “In this display we are giving visitors a glimpse through the keyhole, and inviting them behind the scenes into the museum store. The collection here at the Council’s Fashion Museum is so numerous and so full of treasures, this is a great new way to share the collection and to convey that sense of wonder to our visitors. We’re describing it as a sort of Narnia experience, stepping into the biggest wardrobe ever, with at least 100 years worth of clothes, and nearly everything in the new gallery installation over 100 years old”.
Some dresses and ensembles will also be displayed on stands, including the stone coloured silk sarcenet pelisse worn by Arabella Milbanke the day after she married Lord Byron in January 1815. There will also be beautiful fashions by Worth of Paris from the early 20th century, including the yellow embroidered silk evening gown worn by Lady Curzon.
Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure and Tourism, Councillor Terry Gazzard said: “Bath & North East Somerset Council wants to celebrate the world class arts and heritage on our doorstep. This innovative new display at the Council’s Fashion Museum is an interesting and informative way to get a real insight into fashions of the past".

Laura Ashley:
The Romantic Heroine
The Romantic Heroine
13/07/2013 > 26/08/2013
To celebrate the 60th anniversary in 2013 of the founding of the Laura Ashley label, the Fashion Museum celebrates the vision of the romantic heroine that Laura Ashley gave to fashion in the 1960s and 1970s. A look that fashion editor Felicity Green, referred to in the Daily Mirror on January 1st 1970 as ‘soft-core femininity’ and ‘Victorian type demureness’. A look that prompted a generation of young women to dress up as Thomas Hardy’s milkmaid from Tess of the d’Urbevilles, or Cathy from Wuthering Heights searching in vain across the northern moors for Heathcliff.
The exhibition will focus on the dresses that caught the imagination and chimed with the zeitgeist. By the tail end of the Swinging Sixties the bright and shiny bubble of optimism had burst and so designers found inspiration, and comfort, in nostalgia for times gone by. There was an appetite for escapism and a move back to nature. TV and film hits included Upstairs Downstairs, The Good Life and Far From the Madding Crowd while fashion fans shopped at Antiquarius on the Kings Road and collected Art Nouveau and Aubrey Beardsley prints.
Laura Ashley gave the world the chaste cotton print maxi-dress in earth-hewn natural colours and a notion of life in a golden age; a pastoral idyll far away from the mad city life.
