Horrocks @ The Fashion & Textile Museum – Part 2

There was so much to share from my visit to the Horrocks Exhibition.

The garments and prints are delightful – if you get a opportunity to visit the exhibition at The Fashion & Textile Museum then jump at the chance.

Some of the textiles started life as art work,  before being transformed into printed cloth.

Please excuse the dark images – it was very dimly lit.

Not only are the shoes from top brands (a handbag in the shop window was Stella McCartney !) but the colours are devine.
