This
exhibition takes a closer look on how influential women have used fashion to
define and enhance their position in the world.
You’ll
have the opportunity to take a look at the wardrobes of 25 exceptional women
who’ve made their name in politics, culture, business and fashion and they all
donated an outfit of their “power wardrobe”.
The
exhibition which is very nicely set, examines every decade in fashion throughout
women’s choices to express themselves.
You
will have the chance to see Coco Chanel’s revolutionary outfits, Diane Von
Furstenberg’s famous wrap dress, Vivian’s Westwood’s punk outfits and the
original “Le Smoking Suit” by Yves Saint Laurent.
I’ve
really enjoyed walking around through the exhibition, learning new things about
fashion history and getting the chance to take a closer look to some iconic
outfits.
At
the end, you can watch a video about women and fashion through history but it’s
so badly made, that I think you can live without watching it…
