London What's On

The Wait Won’t Be Long…

The Ossie Clark + Celia Birtwell Exhibition Opens Friday 2 October 2026 at London's Fashion and Textile Museum.

We’ve waved goodbye to Paint! Pattern! Print! and we’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited the exhibition over the spring and summer. It was a joy to see so many visitors immerse themselves in the vibrant world of colour and get inspired by the textiles of Susan Collier and Sarah Campbell.

But we are delighted to say there is plenty more to look forward to! As one exhibition closes, we’re looking forward to what’s coming next.

Opening this autumn, Ossie Clark + Celia Birtwell explores the partnership behind some of the most memorable fashion of the late 1960s and early 1970s. From flowing chiffons and striking prints to celebrity fans and revolutionary runway shows, this major exhibition celebrates a duo whose influence continues to inspire today.

Ossie Clark + Celia Birtwell opens at the Fashion and Textile Museum on Friday 2 October 2026 and runs until Sunday 11 April 2027.

Pre-book tickets now to be among the first through the doors!

The Museum is now closed as we refresh our gallery for the upcoming exhibition but we look forward to welcoming you back to the Museum from Friday 2 October!
