Called "Tailored: A Very British Fashion," it looks at the art and heritage of tailoring. The exhibition begins with the 18th century and continues until the present day, looking at tailoring's development and journey from Savile Row to the tailoring industry in Leeds.

Among the pieces on display is a jacket worn by Ringo Starr, made by Leeds-trained tailor to the stars Dougie Milling. Leeds-born Savile Row tailor, Kathryn Sargent has also created a specially commissioned suit for the show, which is on until January 3, 2016.

A programme of workshops, study days and tours will also be available.
