Join fashion historian Ivan Sayers, as he guides us through remarkable and rare collections of women’s fashion from 1750 to 2000 in the Dressed for History: Why Costume Collections Matter exhibition.
Ivan’s collection is one of four featured in the exhibition along with Claus Jahnke, Melanie Talkington and the members of the BC Society for the Museum of Original Costume (SMOC). The Museum of Vancouver has invited these collectors to share their deep knowledge of costume history by showcasing pieces from their collections. Dressed for History: Why Costume Collections Matter makes the case that fashion and costumes are significant and enduring expressions of personal identity and of political and social change. This exhibition confirms Vancouver as home to world-class costume interpreters, collectors and historians.
