The exhibition "Fashion in the 19th century"

Go to the museum, without even moving a finger, or almost! "La mode au XIXème siècle" is a virtual exhibition offered by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris to visit from home. In the 19th century, between progress and tradition, while the male costume quickly lost its luster, the women’s fashion, on the contrary, sought more and more opulence. If luxury production was not born in the 19th century, it takes on a more commercial dimension. Thus, new methods of promoting fashion items appear and the industrial revolution allows productivity gains. An exhibition that we invite you to discover in pictures.
