The Making of the Silhouette

April 8th, 2011 to July 30th, 2011


In the nineteenth century, fashions were varied and differed drastically from one decade to the next. Clothing valiantly played its part but the undergarments, or foundations, were the architecture that created those spectacular silhouettes. Once seen only in the realms of dressing rooms, gyms, and bedrooms, FOUNDATIONS offers an uninterrupted look at the undergarments that shaped the past.  In an age when we rarely wear elaborate foundations, the allure of a bygone age still captures our imaginations.
