How does a museum of historic dress keep up with modern fashion? At the Fashion Museum we have a unique scheme called the Dress of the Year.
Each year since 1963, when the museum was founded in Bath, we have asked a fashion expert to select a dress or outfit for the museum’s collection to represent the most important new ideas in contemporary fashion. The chosen designers or manufacturers have always very generously given the clothes to the Fashion Museum and the firm of Adel Rootstein donates an up-to-date mannequin for the display.
Dress of the Year choices from 1963 to 2005 are listed on the left.
