   Reconstruction

Cultural Heritage and the Making of Contemporary Fashion

28th January – 11th February 2012

Main Auditorium, The National Museum

Admission: Free

British Council in partnership with Bangladesh National Museum is proud to present an exhibition that celebrates the work of 7 UK-based fashion designers alongside 3 eminent Bangladeshi designers and the museum’s own selection of traditional Bangladeshi textile and cloths. These designers skilfully distil elements of their past - either personal moments or a collective cultural heritage – to create clothes with a narrative for the present.

World famous designer such as Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith, Hussein Chalayan are just some of the names associated with this fashion exhibition. From the Bangladeshi panel, we have Ruby Ghuznavi, Monjulika Chakma and Emdad Haque. Activities include a seminar on Global Trends in Fashion Exhibition, a 2 day fashion journalism workshop, several study tour and seminar with local designers and the stakeholders and a catwalk show from the Bangladeshi fashion designers at the closing ceremony.
