Fashion Museum – Fashionable women

The collection at the Fashion Museum includes sizeable collections of fashions worn by particular women. This gives opportunities to investigate questions of individual taste and changing fashion across the course of one woman’s life.

The women include Ottoline Morrell, Molly Tondaimann and Margot Fonteyn.
