While Old Trafford and the ship canal may not necessarily compare, Manchester’s textile history is well known. Recently Haider Ackermann unveiled his Fila collaboration at the Warehouse Project, while another designer, Yahoo Kusama has just completed an installation for Manchester International Festival.
The annual Métiers d’Art event was set up in 2002 to showcase the work of specialist brands and ateliers.
