From Royal Mistresses to Today’s Couture

Before the era of ready-to-wear, how did fabrics become clothes that were made by tailors and seamstresses? This exhibition traces the evolution of fashions: By offering visitors a history of printed fabric patterns, from the Marquise de Pompadour to Christian Dior, the museum exhibits pieces that show the permanence of certain designs through the evolution of forms and clothing styles. Enjoy a look at fashion from a unique angle.
