This bodice by the House of Worth has always seemed to be one of those objects that transcends trends. Perhaps it is because its matching skirt is absent, but it has the look of a garment that could be worn as stylishly today as when it was first made in the 1890s @Fashion_Museum
Looking at a rich array of visual sources, from portraits to modern-life paintings, photographs to fashion plates, the book reveals how women were seen, how they aspired to be seen, and how they navigated public life in nineteenth-century Paris.
The book explores how modern women and modern artists in Paris (1855-1885) crafted their public images, manipulating expectations surrounding five fashionable types—the mistress, the young widow, the equestrienne, the shopgirl, & the Parisienne—to exploit and resist stereotypes.
I’m thrilled to announce that _The Art of Parisian Chic: Modern Women and Modern Artists in Impressionist Paris_ will be forthcoming from Bloomsbury Visual Arts in 2025. #fashionhistory#arthistory#womensstudies
French painter Suzanne Valadon was born #OnThisDay in 1865. She was also a model and was painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir for Dance in the City (1883) @MuseeOrsay, in which she was depicted wearing a dress similar to this brocade bustle gown from @kansashistory. #art#dress

Manet and Degas were friends, rivals, and, at times, antagonists.
OPENING THIS SUNDAY—“Manet/Degas” explores one of the most significant artistic dialogues in modern art history: the relationship between Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas.

This painting portrays a gathering of people joyously celebrating a wedding in the Virgin Islands circa 1850. In the foreground, the groom dons European suiting, reflecting the influence of colonial encounters in the nineteenth century. However, the women are adorned in multicolored attire more emblematic of the Caribbean, most notably head wraps. Unfortunately, the artist and the individuals depicted in the painting are unidentified.
A reminder that our next "At Home" is this Sunday (24th) Sept. We'll be reflecting on the 'fragrance' of fashion and textiles and speakers include @FourRedShoes and @DadaPandora. Free tickets & further details here: https://t.co/PZmA8yVvMy
