The Fashion Museum, working in partnership with the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Bowes Museum, has saved a collection of rare 1930s evening dresses by Madeleine Vionnet, one of the greatest 20th century couturiers, for the nation.
The two dresses acquired by the Fashion Museum, both of which are exquisite examples of Vionnet’s skill in manipulating fabric, will be on display in the Fashion Musuem galleries from 5 December 2009.
The dresses were acquired with the assistance of The Art Fund, The V&A / MLA Purchase Grant Fund, Bath and North East Somerset Council, the West of England Costume Society, and many private individuals and supporters.
