This book looks at the evolution of fashion exhibitions, taking as its anchor the 1971 Victoria and Albert Museum exhibition Fashion: An Anthology by Cecil Beaton, revealing it to be symptomatic of a shift in museological attitudes. Accompanied by photographs of Beaton's museum work, the narrative establishes a perspective from which to view working practices today.
