Chic Chicago: Couture Treasures from the Chicago History Museum


Event Time: 9:30am-4:30pm, 9:30am-8pm, 12pm-5pm
Chicago, IL

Chic Chicago exhibition presents the hallmarks of modern fashion. The exhibition's extraordinary garments date from 1861 to 2004 and represent the most prominent couturiers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each gown has a strong connection to Chicago and belongs to the Museum's permanent collection. The Chicago Museum of History presents 50 of its greatest couture pieces at the Chic Chicago exhibition. The survey spans a period from 1878-1996 and features work by designers such as Gianni Versace, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and Comme des Garçons offering a wide overview of the changing fashion trends. The interest in fashion started as a reaction to Chicago's rough reputation, when generations of Chicago women turned to the glamour of couture. Fashion, they believed, was the most dramatic way to prove Chicago's beauty and sophistication.

Venue:
Chicago History Museum
1601 N. Clark St.
