Sports Clothing – Fashion and Sport

Explore the intersection between sport and high-end fashion with this temporary exhibition. From the cumbersome tennis dresses of the 19th century to modern-day essentials like tracksuits and trainers, pupils will learn how clothes that were originally used for sport became everyday and even high-end fashion items.

During this visit, pupils will: 

Draw links between sporting performance and sartorial elegance.

• Gain an understanding of the role sport and fashion have played in areas such as women’s emancipation, self-identity and scientific innovation.
• Discover the wealth of items in the Olympic heritage, sporting and clothing collections through images and costumes.
• Delve into the universal values of Olympism and fashion.
• Take part in discussions and exchange ideas.
  
  This guided tour is for pupils between the ages of 11 and 15 (compulsory schooling).

NB: Entry to the exhibitions is not included when you book a workshop. Please also book a self-guided tour to access the exhibitions before or after the workshop.
