Prefigured: Fashion and Exhibition-Making

Prefigured: Fashion and Exhibition-Making examines how fashion exhibitions are conceived and constructed, drawing on nearly three decades of work by Judith Clark, one of the curators who helped define the field. Organised around the core elements of exhibition-making, including reference, context, mannequins, narrative devices, and the spatial choreography of objects and viewers, the book reveals the thinking behind Clark’s exhibitions. For Clark, the exhibition is a narrative environment where garments, archives, and spatial design open new ways of seeing fashion.
