Making More Mischief: Folk Costume in Britain will open at the London College of Fashion in Stratford on 9 April.
The Museum of British Folklore is involved in the project and said it aimed to "present British folk traditions in unexpected ways".Traditions such as Doggett's Coat and Badge Race, which has been running for more than 300 years on the River Thames, will feature alongside Swan Upping, Morris dancing and the Hackney Clown Festival.
Included in that is an "immersive installation" about an arts platform that began as a house party off Brick Lane 10 years ago, as well as sections looking at the relationship between mud larking in the River Thames and the pearl button, and masquerade dance at Hackney carnival.Simon Costin, of the Museum of British Folklore, said: "Folk customs are constantly changing and evolving, and we hope Making More Mischief at London College of Fashion captures that.
