Come and delight in examples of traditional Oriental fashion with The Cavalcade of History and Fashion and see how the Orient has influenced what we wear today.
See garments in silks, cottons, and linens from countries such as India, China, and Persia. Fabrics such as silk, brocade, and jacquard add a touch of exoticism and luxury. The Japanese kimono was one of the most iconic and influential Eastern fashion items to be incorporated into Victorian dress. Who remembers the Chinese Cheongsam dress, introduced in the 20s but popular in the 1960s? There will be so much more.
Come and see how Oriental fashion continues to inspire Western designers.
