What Does Fashion Mean to You? Meet Christine

#YouChoose #FashionMuseum #fashionarchive "What Does Fashion Mean to You?" Meet Christine, one of our co-curators for the current 'You Choose' exhibition. Christine is a 55-year-old felt-maker and anthropologist who lives in Somerset. She is studying at the University of St Andrews and her research focuses on groups in Iran who produce or use rural felt in their daily lives. Christine chose a 2011 Jacket, brown and light brown Mongolian felted cashmere by Christophe Lemaire for Hermès, worn with roll neck cashmere knitted jumper, and lambskin leather trousers and hat. She says: "Felt making is a revered process in Mongolia and some pieces would require entire communities to work on them for several days, putting their souls into the making. My soul intuited the Hermès jacket and I felt immediately connected, perhaps because of my own work as a felt maker.” See Christine's choice, and other selections, at our unique exhibition, 'You Choose' co-curated by local people. On display until 30 October 2022. Filming credit: Street Films. Music by BenSound Fashion Museum Bath has temporarily closed before moving to a new location in the centre of Bath.
