Dressed to Thrill: Fashion in Art

Fashionistas and art lovers, this docent lecture at the JCCSF is for you. It's often said that you can't judge a book by its cover but what can a person's clothing tell us about who they are, or the world they live in? This informative and entertaining lecture explores the fashions seen in the vast art collections of the Legion of Honor Museum, including works by artists such as Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, and Henri Matisse. Marvel at how revolution, religion, and conquest shaped the way people dress. Where did the man's suit of today originate from? Why did stylish people slash the sleeves of their clothing for over a hundred years? And what was holding up those towering hairstyles worn by the French queen Marie Antoinette?
