According the the FIT website, Fairy Tale Fashion is a unique and imaginative exhibition that examines fairy tales through the lens of high fashion. In versions of numerous fairy tales by authors such as Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen, it is evident that dress is often used to symbolize a character’s transformation, vanity, power, or privilege. The importance of Cinderella’s glass slippers is widely known, for example, yet these shoes represent only a fraction of the many references to clothing in fairy tales.
Here at FAE Magazine – Faeries and enchantment, if you are a regular reader, you ail know that we simply adore faerie fashion, so this unique and exciting exhibition is right up our fairy street! the exhibition is being organised by Colleen Hill, and contains 80 plus items.
