Learn about the influence of fashion magazines as tastemakers and agents of change in the twentieth century, the influence of iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld on the couture house of Chanel, and discover the importance of dress in LGBTQI+ communities and post-colonial Africa.
This is the final session in the three-part series: Observations: Dress in Art and Design History.
Book into all three Observations sessions
With a focus on the internationally respected NGV Collection of historical art, fashion and textiles, historians, writers and curators from around the world examine the movements, makers and moments that shaped and were shaped by dress across the centuries across three sessions.
The entire collection of presentations, conversations and lectures will be transcribed into a printed publication, giving audiences the opportunity to revisit the content from Observations: Dress in Art and Design History. Participants can pre-purchase a copy of the book, set to be released in March 2025, when booking.
NGV Members, students and educators enjoy discounted tickets to all Observations sessions.
