This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched.'A remarkable resource for the field of fashion studies suitable for both newcomers ... [and] seasoned practitioners.' Fashion Historia'A precious source in the study of the subject ... inspiring.' The Journal of Dress HistoryThe last decade has seen the growing popularity and visibility of fashion as a cultural product, including its growing presence in museum exhibitions. 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 decadesfrom the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900 to the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2011, and beyondit makes connections between museum fashion and the wider fashion industry.By 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 fieldfrom the Victoria and Albert and the Bath Fashion Museum to the Brooklyn and the Royal Ontario Museumsthe work reveals how fashion exhibitions have been shaped by the values and anxieties associated with fashion more generally.Supplemented by parallel critical approaches, including museological theory, historiography, body theory, material culture, and visual studies, Fashion, History, Museums demonstrates that in an increasingly corporate and massmediated 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.
