The themes are Romantic, Outrageous and Classic dress, and the garments have been selected from the Olive Matthews Collection of costume, housed at the Museum. To give just a taster, the Romantic theme includes beautifully feminine clothing such as flounced day dress from the 1840s and a luxurious ‘New Look’ evening gown from the early 1950s. Amongst the highlights of the Outrageous section is an iconic corset dress by Jean Paul Gaultier, and the Classic category incorporates the ultimate in timeless style – a ‘Delphos’ gown by Mariano Fortuny.
