Dress and Textile Histories at the Kelvin Centre
Clothing and textiles offer insights into wider social, cultural and economic practices. Studying historic dress and textiles is of interest both in its own right and as a means of understanding the past. These insights are of relevance to work in museums, the heritage sector, art dealers and auction houses, and in theatre, film and television production as a costume researcher/designer.
Our postgraduate programme combines theoretical, archival and object-based approaches with practical insights from our own staff and from visiting experts in curation, costume design and making.
