Dress Code - Ten Iconic Dresses in Art

Welcome to The Arts Society Newmarket
Monday, March 3, 2025 - 14:00
The Roman Catholic Church Community Centre
14 Exeter Road Newmarket CB8 8LT
Online Event

Ten iconic dresses within ten famous portraits from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Portraits that have shocked and delighted audiences in equal measure - the scandal of Sargent’s little black dress, Whistler’s ghostly women in white, Klimt’s golden visions fit for a queen to the swirling dreamlike drapery of Leighton’s Flaming June. Fashion and art has long been entwined and in the same way that every picture tells a story so too does every dress!
