The Fashion of Convention is an online exhibition curated by MA students from the University of Leeds.

How did we previously create fashion?

Did we always have trends we were enamoured with?

The Fashion of Convention delves into the accidental history of sustainable fashion, in a current climate crisis.

The Fashion of Convention is part of a wider series of exhibitions and projects undertaken by MA students from the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies as part of an Interpretations course module.
