Yesterday, we went to the opening of Fashion at Play @leedsmuseums.bsky.social at Lotherton. Favourites objects included teeny tiny shoes, the pudding hat so toddlers don't bump their heads, and our youth curators case, who chose 'retro' and 'vintage' looks that are basically my 90s teenage hood!

Formed by a cross of ribbon on the top, and a crown of padding around the sides. Case of retro 90s looking outfit... wide blue jeans, nirvana t shirt, check shirt.

In shock that the #museum I have dedicated most of my working life to is threatened with closure. I urge #Leeds people to respond to the upcoming public consultation and fight to preserve such a loved and important site. Local government funding needs fixing urgently.
