Will climate change also change the way we dress? Will coats, down jackets, and winter boots become a thing of the past – just as romantic capes, spencers, muffs, and other wardrobe items?
The exhibition So Cold invites one to consider the relationship between clothing and climate. It features cold-weather clothing and accessories made in Europe and North America from the 18th century to the present day. From Kashmiri shawls to couture coats, from 19th-century dresses to miniskirts, from practical functionality to extravagant luxury.
