Exhibition charts the history of the catwalk

For many people the catwalk show is something exclusive, seemingly created for a few fashionistas that get to sit in the front row with the result a few outfits in magazines that they will never be able to afford. But there is much more to it than that and this new exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum will put the whole process from catwalk to cover under the microscope. Opens 18th November.
