pattern seen in a Museum piece of printed
mohair (French or English) from this
period is the source for the

EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FASHION AND ART, THIS ELOQUENT EXHIBITION
looks at fashion’s role in the works of the Impressionists and their contemporaries. The time period is the
mid-1860s to the mid-1880s, when Paris emerged as the style capital of the world, and the department
store, fashion magazines, and the concept of ready-made wear were all on the rise. Presented are some
75 major figure paintings interspersed with period costumes, accessories, fashion plates, photographs, and
popular prints, illustrating how the avant-garde—from Manet, Monet, and Renoir to Baudelaire, Mallarmé,
and Zola—turned a fresh eye to contemporary dress as the herald of la modernité.
