The Fashion and Textile Museum was founded in 2003 by Zandra Rhodes and is operated by the Newham College of Further Education. Located in Bermondsey, it is in a building designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.

Building

The museum is in a converted warehouse that was redesigned by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta in collaboration with Zandra Rhodes. [1] [2] It was Legorreta's first and only building in Europe. [3] [4] In addition to the exhibition space, the building has a textile studio, printing workshop, and private residential quarters. [2] The building has become a tourist attraction due to its colour scheme of hot pink, burnt orange, yellow, and bright blue. [1] [2]
