Step into the world of fashion from the 1920s to the 1950s in France with this captivating exhibit. Witness the evolution of style as it mirrors the shifts in gender roles and societal attitudes. Begin in the 20s with the flapper dresses and icon Coco Chanel, then explore the modest wear of the Great Depression era. Finally, experience the shift to menswear and practicality of wartime fashion and then a shift back to feminine elegance with Christian Dior's "New Look". Through magazine covers, photo shoots, film clips, and more, explore how fashion reflects women's roles in society.
