Savoir-Faire: 19th-Century Fashion Prints
December 9, 2017 - June 17, 2018
About This Exhibition
Savoir-Faire: 19th-Century Fashion Prints features prints from French and American women’s magazines together with dresses and accessories from the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum.
The exhibition traces the dynamic changes in women’s fashion occurring in 19th-century Paris and the ways those far-away trends found their way to American cities, including Wichita.
Savoir-Faire joins Americans in Paris (opening December 16) and Monet to Matisse: French Moderns from the Brooklyn Museum, 1850–1950 (opening February 24) for an exploration of the artistic links between Paris and America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
