We're very excited to announce that the Fashion Through the Ages exhibition has now opened at the site of the soon-to-launch Vogue Café in level Shoe District, The Dubai Mall.
Beginning the journey with
an Art Nouveau-inspired Vogue cover
from 1919, illustrated by Helen Dryden, the visuals become bolder and brighter
with the onset of the roaring 20s, where visionary covers echo the adventurous
spirit of the Art Deco movement. In sharp contrast, black & white images
follow that capture the wartime era, whilst still highlighting the sheer
elegance and power of sitters Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel and Marlene Dietrich.
This theme is carried over into the 1940s, where an evident post-war world is
respectfully portrayed with an incredible fashion moment captured within a
bombed-out London townhouse
1950s fashion epitomised class and
refinement, with some of the most beautiful imagery highlighting the subtle
transition of women in society, with fluid lines and streamline shapes paving
the way for the swinging 60s, where the fall of taboos gave way to the rise of
the mini skirt, and cultural icons such as Twiggy and Brigitte Bardot defined
the modern woman.
The early 70s shows continuation
of 60s fashion in the form of heavily lashed eyes and bold styling, with cover
stars such as Jerry Hall symbolising the sexual revolution of the era. This
eventually leads into the explosion of the 80’s scene, heavily influenced by
the music genres of the decade – Punk, Glam Rock, New Romantic, New Wave and
Pop.
The 80s and 90s saw the age of the
supermodel, as Vogue editorial gave
us Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford - and
later Kate Moss, who leads the journey through into the 21st
century.
With spectacular imagery selected
from the archives of Vogue – the
world’s most influential fashion glossy – Fashion Through the Ages demonstrates
a fascinating style timeline, with over 50 defining images on display.
This is a free event open
to the public, with the exhibition timings coinciding with the mall's operating
hours, which are
Sunday-Wednesday 10am-10pm and
Thursday-Saturday 10am-12am.
