“TOP TO TOE: FASHION FOR KIDS”
Through April 19
Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood [London, England]
This exhibit explores the fascinating world of children’s clothing. Developments in the form and function of clothing are represented through a number of themes: childhood milestones; changing fashions over time; why fashions change and who drives this; and practical versus impractical clothes. Items on show include a 1700s wrapping gown, an 1800s boy’s hat, a muff made of peacock feathers and the popular 1970s ‘snorkel’ parka coat.
