Current Exhibition
Fabulous Fashion - Decades of Change: 1890s, 1920s, & 1950s
Kathryne Beynon Foundation Exhibition Hall
Open through February 14, 2016
From the uncomfortable corsets and ornate bodices of the 1890s to the deconstructed freedom of the 1920s to the full skirts and bullet bras of the 1950s, fashion trends in Pasadena followed the rest of the country. Represented by over 40 garments, these fashions emerged in response to sweeping changes in society, economics, and lifestyle for women. Read more. . .
 The exhibition is made possible in part by the Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission and the City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division. Fabulous Fashion is also supported by French Hand Laundry, PMH's Textile Arts Council, Style on Green, High Low Vintage, New Moon Textiles, Roberta Dumas, Suzanne Ehrmann, Elissa De Angelo, Dr. Elizabeth Smalley, Susan Stevens, and Ann Wallace.
