Description

Despite a dire financial and political environment, the 1930s was a period of great stylistic achievement and technical innovation in design. In contrast to the preceding Edwardian era - in which stiff, structured clothes dominated high fashion - 1930s garments were softer, minimally ornamented, elegantly proportioned, and reflected the streamlined art moderne aesthetic. Presenting both men's and women's fashions, 'Elegance in an Age of Crisis: Fashions of the 1930s' celebrates some of the most innovative and beautifully designed clothing made in the twentieth century.
