The online exhibition 'The 1920s from head to toe: Fashion from 100 years ago' is based on a TRC Gallery display with the same title, presented at the Textile Research Centre, Leiden, The Netherlands, from mid-September 2023 until mid-March 2024.
The exhibition focuses on what people were wearing in the 1920s at various times of the day and on different occasions. It includes Western fashion from the 1920s, mostly for women, for daily, afternoon and evening wear, but also underwear and pyjamas, sports wear, and a ceremonial outfit for a parliamentarian.
