Fashion has long had a well documented love affair with Peruvian textiles. The catwalks regularly feature designs that are inspired by this ancient craft – most recently, we’ve seen the influence of South American textiles at the Dior: Designer of Dreams<\/a><\/em> exhibition at the V&A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Weavers of the Clouds<\/em> exhibition, for the first time, shows the full impact of Peru’s rich, colourful textile history and its journey from pre-Columbian civilisation to catwalk. It celebrates the rich tapestries, complex weaves, and vibrant colours of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peru is one of the world’s oldest civilisations. The country has an uninterrupted and well-documented history of vibrant textiles. Each geographical region of the country has its own distinct textile style (texstyle?!); just one of the themes explored within the exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous highlights to enjoy. Garments and textiles dating back to 600AD are on display, including a stunning 16th century Quipu<\/a>, made from knotted fibres used by the Incas to communicate with each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapestries including a ceremonial tunic also form part of the exhibition, which are displayed with images by photographers who have documented the life and work of Peruvian people, such as Marta Tucci<\/a>‘s portraits and Max Milligan<\/a>‘s dramatic landscapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fashion<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The museum’s Mezzanine Gallery plays host to a variety of contemporary Peruvian fashion designers. Their designs show the influence of ancient textiles and techniques on contemporary residents, who celebrate their native country’s time-honoured skills. Three designers, Meche Correa, Chiara Macchiavello, and Mozhdeh Matin, have their designs featured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
