Patch Work
An expert and intimate exploration of a life in clothes: their memories and stories, enchantments and spells.A linen sheet, smooth with age. A hundred-year-old pin, forgotten in a hem. A box of buttons, mother-of-pearl and plastic, metal and glass, rattling and untethered.
Down cool, dark corridors and in quiet store rooms, she and her colleagues care for, catalogue and conserve clothes centuries old, the inscrutable remnants of lives long lost to history; the commonplace or remarkable things that survive the bodies they once encircled or adorned.In Patch Work, Wilcox deftly stitches together her dedicated study of fashion with the story of Fragile silks and fugitive dyes, fans and crinolines, and the faint mark on leather from a buckle now lost.Claire Wilcox has worked as a curator in Fashion at the Victoria & Albert Museum for most of her working life.
