Ruffles & Ribbons: The Politics of Fashion
Join Yifu Liu, Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow, in the reading room of the Frick Art Research Library for an exploration of the French fashion industry in the late eighteenth century—when royal patronage and changes in daily life and culture reshaped textile production. Twenty-four captivating eighteenth-century French fashion plates are on view through August 3 in the Frick’s Cabinet Gallery for the special installation “Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette.” Learn more about the show at https://www.frick.org/exhibitions/ruf..., and plan a visit to the Frick Art Research Library at https://www.frick.org/visit/library.
