Fashion reveals not only who we are, but whom we aspire to be. From 1775 to 1925, artists in Europe were especially attuned to the gaps between appearance and reality, participating in and often critiquing the making of the self and image. Fashion in European Art explores representations of fashion and dress, revealing how artists and their sitters engaged with the fashion and culture of their times. Its essays explore the politics of dress, its inspirations and the reactions it provoked, as well as the many meanings of fashion in European art, to show its importance in understanding modernity itself.
