LUNCHTIME LECTURE: Art Nouveau Fashion

LUNCHTIME LECTURE: An introduction to this important style, focussing on a number of important designers – Worth, Lucile, Paquin, Poiret – and key subjects such as jewellery and accessories, the role of advertising, artists as designers, and the relationships between designers and their clients. Its questioning of gender and artistic hierarchies, which inspired 1960s counter-culture, is also covered, with many unseen images.
