Vulgar. Not usually a word that you would expect to hear when describing fashion.
But a recently opened exhibition at the Barbican Centre aims to use this concept to change how we look at fashion.
The new exhibit is having a significant impact across the country. A leading lecturer in fashion from Manchester Metropolitan University is visiting the gallery and feels that people are now dressing in a more vulgar way.

It seems this new exhibition is having an impact not just in the local area but across the fashion industry as a whole.
