Boleros y Mantillas

Start date: Sunday, February 4, 2007
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, May 27, 2007

By the 19th century, France began its dominance of western fashion. French designs and trends were adopted by patrons all over Europe, from England to Spain. Many elements of Spanish fashion, however, elements that are still understood as traditionally Spanish, also left their mark on the industry. As part of the Meadows Museum’s exploration of the intersection of fashion and art with the exhibition of garments by celebrated Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, the simultaneously appearing exhibition “Boleros y Mantillas” explores those icons of Spanish fashion appearing in the Meadows’ excellent collection of Spanish art.
