bulletThe Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising Museum & Galleries jointly present the exhibition with The Gamble House Centennial - The Exhibits are celebrating the avant-garde epoch which propelled fashion out of the Victorian Era and continues to influence designs of today.

"The world of Artistic dress was short-lived and inhabited only by a daring few, but the impression left on the fashion world has endured. Started in mid-19th century England, this form of dress was sparked by influential artists subverting societal norms. They abandoned the traditional clothing of the time for the loose, un-corseted styles of ancient Greece and medieval Europe, which they felt best accentuated the natural beauty of the female body. ..."
