Laura McCafferty: Drawing with fabric

Work by embroiderer Laura McCafferty on display at the Fashion Museum from 17 January to 19 April 2009.

Laura’s own description of her pieces as ‘documentary reportage textile art work’ perfectly captures the theme of this display, which will show the everyday clothes and fashions that people wear,  but captured and expressed in a unique and beautiful way.
