'Clothes Of The Land: Timeless Fashion', featuring the fascinating collection of homespun peasant clothing from 18th and early 19th century France, painstakingly amassed over many years by the famous English costume designer and textile expert, Bryony Thomasson.
Bryony was born in December 1933 and begun her career in textiles in the 1950s when she first took a stall in Portobello Road. She travelled widely in France and all over the world collecting textiles and clothes, and was a true adventurer as well as having a wonderful eye for colour, textiles and form.
Thanks for the loan of the collection to egg, London.
