Object No 1
Alison Moloney interviews her fellow fashion curators about the first garment audiences encounter at the start of an exhibition. Through a close reading of this initial object, the curators discuss the theme of the show and how the garment was selected. Like the opening sentence of a book, the first object sets the scene for the narrative to unfold. The series is supported by the Centre for Fashion Curation, UAL, at London College of Fashion where Alison Moloney is an Associate Member. It is produced by Clare Lynch.
