Fashions of the Gilded Age
Women’s fashions in the late 1800s fully lived up to Mark Twain’s moniker for the era, the Gilded Age. Elaborate construction, rich colors, lavish fabrics and trim, and general love of excess typified high styles of the 1870s through 1890s. In this, they mirrored design in architecture, decorative arts, and interior design, as seen in our current exhibit, “Illuminating Design: The Decoration and Technology of E.F. Caldwell and Co., 1895-1959.” But change was in the air, and a new archetype, the New Woman, was about to transform women’s clothing along with her role in society.
Join us for this discussion to revel in the gorgeous, and supremely impractical, fashions of the Gilded Age and peek at the new modes of the Progressive Era which followed.
We are happy to still be able to offer our regular lecture series... even though the museum staff is all working from home at this point! We appreciate your understanding of any variation in video or audio quality.
