This book explores the history of fashion displays, highlighting the continuity of past and present curatorial practices. Comparing and contrasting exhibitions from different museums and decades-from the Paris \u003ci\u003eExposition Universelle\u003c\/i\u003e of 1900 to the \u003ci\u003eAlexander McQueen Savage Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2011, and beyond-it makes connections between museum fashion and the wider fashion industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy critically analyzing trends in fashion exhibition practice over the 20th and early 21st centuries, Julia Petrov defines and describes the varied representations of historical fashion within British and North American museum exhibitions. Rooted in extensive archival research on exhibitions by global leaders in the field-from the Victoria and Albert and the Bath Fashion Museum to the Brooklyn and the Royal Ontario Museums-the work reveals how fashion exhibitions have been shaped by the values and anxieties associated with fashion more generally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupplemented by parallel critical approaches, including museological theory, historiography, body theory, material culture, and visual studies, \u003ci\u003eFashion History in the Museum\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that in an increasingly corporate and mass-mediated world, fashion exhibitions must be analysed in a comparative and global context. Richly illustrated with 70 images, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of fashion history and museology, as well as curators, conservators, and exhibition designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“The book serves as a valuable entry into the continually evolving field of fashion curation and would make a worthwhile purchase for any library with programs in art history, museum studies, fashion studies, or design history.” - \u003ci\u003eARLIS\/NA Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781350048997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40683349901518,"sku":"9781350048997","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_5949dc34-6377-440b-89dd-a441dd85b1ae.jpg?v=1640148804","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781350048997","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
