Take a front-row seat at the catwalk and prepare to be dazzled by the most important and groundbreaking fashions of the last 4,000 years.
An extraordinary expert guided tour through fashion history, fashion, annotated features more than 400 key pieces, from the ancient world to the present day.
Discover the exquisite detail of 17th-century embroidery in detail. Find yourself blown away by the intricacies of a traditional kimono, learn the Mexican origins of classic American cowboy gear, and marvel at galleries of the most important styles of shoes and accessories down the centuries. Learn which came first: the sari or the shalwar kameez, and be mightily glad you don't need to squeeze yourself into a Victorian corset.
