DescriptionFrom the glamour and quiet brilliance of Christian Dior's New Look to the inventiveness of Rei Kawakubo to the uncompromising creativity of Alexander McQueen to the meticulous detail of the Mulleavy sisters (Rodarte), 'A History of Fashion: New Look to Now' is a celebration of the life and times of the fashion geniuses whose rare and enduring creations have defined the past sixty years.

Covering haute couture to the emergence of deluxe, boutique and ready-to-wear, 'A History of Fashion: New Look to Now' illustrates the trends in fashion over the decades and the well worn truth that what goes around comes around.
