04 Oct Garments in Glass: Unveiling the History of Fashion Exhibits
In this episode, we explore how fashion has become a vital element of museum culture, driven by its increasing role as a cultural artifact. Julia Petrov’s book, Fashion, History, Museums, offers a compelling look into the evolution of fashion curation, connecting early exhibitions like the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle to modern showcases like Alexander McQueen’s Savage Beauty. Petrov examines how these displays bridge the gap between museums and the fashion industry while providing critical insights into curatorial trends across the 20th and 21st centuries in British and North American museums.
