Dressing Above Your Station

Curated by Beca Lipscombe and Mairi MacKenzie, with Rob Kennedy, ISO Design and Glasgow School of Art, Dressing Above Your Station considers the life and work of the artist Steven Campbell from a fashion and textiles perspective. It examines the depiction of clothing and cloth in his paintings as well as the role of fashion in Steven and his wife Carol’s life and aspirations.
