The purpose of the exhibit was highlighted in a recent Town of Oakville press release
“Denim is such a universal fabric,” Carolyn Cross, curator of collections, Oakville Museum, said in the release.
“It can be found in just about any type of clothing. We want to tell the stories of people’s denim from a number of angles, not just fashion, but also the environmental, social and political aspects of this hardworking fabric. It is going to be a fun exhibit and we are looking forward to borrowing an array of denim garments from Oakville residents.”
