A fashion and style exhibition designed and produced entirely by young people aged 13-18, in collaboration with Tate Liverpool, Metquarter, CRICKET and YETI Creative.

The Threads that Bind Us was an exhibition of style and fashion photography created by Tiber Young Producers showcasing garments designed and made by Toxteth young people with the support of fashion designer Andrew Ibi. The exhibition featured portraits of the group wearing their own designs and included the young people’s reflections on their experiences of community, where they feel most powerful in their own lives, what it is like to be a young person in 2024 and how collaboration creates positive change.

The group designed and created all parts of this exhibition with the support of Producer and Photographer Emma Case and Tate Liverpool Curator of Learning Stef Bradley. They made their own garments and worked with luxury fashion retailer CRICKET to professionally style their outfits. They directed their photo shoot at YETI Creative and curated their exhibition space at the Metquarter. The group also exhibited behind the scenes footage and photography showing their journey throughout this project.

"Working with Tate has been an experience of a lifetime. Working with stylists and photographers has given me an insight into my future and I’m so grateful for the amazing people we met. I can’t wait to flourish on my fashion journey."
