Collection: Fashioning Fashion

LACMA acquired this significant collection from two separate European dealers who each spent 25 years collecting gowns, breeches, vests, coats, and countless articles of underclothing and accessories worn by men, women, and children. Each piece tells a story about the fashion of the day. Fashioning Fashion was an extraordinary first peak at this spectacular collection; LACMA has many more one-of-a-kind treasures from this collection yet to be seen by the public.
