Centre for Fashion Curation
About us
The Centre for Fashion Curation (CfFC) explores exhibition-making and archival research. CfFC engages with meaningful and experimental enquiries into theoretical and practice-based fashion curation. We're located within an international and inclusive environment.
The Centre provides a unique catalyst and platform for:
- research and publications
- exhibitions, symposiums and workshops
- collections-based enquiries.
Research, teaching and learning are embedded within the practices of the Centre. CfFC’s academics lead and teach on the MA Fashion Curation and Cultural Programming and most provide PhD supervision.

Hackney Paracarnival was established in 2010 by Richard Sleeman and Bettina Fernandez-Sleeman. The duo creates costumes with and for people with disabilities. Kathleen Jackson works with them daily. She made the pom poms for the seated figure which has a face that resembles hers made by Richard. She was of course duly credited on the label.
