The fabric was shared with local designers, makers and students from Leeds Arts University to create a range of garments for display at the My Leeds Summer’ events. From kimonos and suits to capes and dashikis, “the garments showcase the diversity of Leeds and the breadth of local fashion talent”, said Burberry.This month, Leeds Corn Exchange also exhibited the textile artworks and garments in an exhibition called ‘A City Without Seams’. In October, they will be gifted to their neighbourhood wards for display in a local venue.Rob Blomfield, Vice-President of Burberry’s Business Services in Leeds, said: “We hope that the textile artworks we’ve created with Keith Khan will not only be cherished by our generation, but also passed down and beloved as a symbol of the community by many generations to come.”
