Thread: Stories of New England Fashion: The Strawbery Banke Museum costume and textile collection at the heart of this exhibition – with many items displayed for the first time – shows just how stylish the Seacoast’s residents were. In vignettes displayed in eight historic buildings the historical costumes are matched with modern creations crafted by contemporary designers in the spirit of the Strawbery Banke Museum collection (and echoed in the city’s fashion boutiques). As the pieces from the Museum collection are too fragile for permanent display and as the contemporary design will return to their creators, Thread is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The exhibition, its development and connections with the fashion community are intended to launch a dialogue on fashion, on social history and on how the art, technology and ideology of fashion have evolved over the centuries. Open daily 10-5 from May 1 through October 31, 2012. Special exhibit of accessories in the Rowland Gallery, open daily 10-4.
