Marie Antoinette Style is supported by Manolo Blahnik

The first exhibition in the UK about Queen Marie Antoinette of France will debut in September next year, taking you on a journey to explore the style shaped by this most fashion influential queen in history, tracing its origins and countless revivals throughout history. She had a tumultuous fate, but she was an undisputed fashion icon. The fashion and interior styles she led and adopted in the last few decades of the 18th century have had a lasting impact on the fields of design, fashion, film, and decorative arts for over 250 years. The exhibition integrates a rich collection of exhibits and media, from haute couture dresses to audiovisual installations, exploring why Queen Mary has become a timeless source of inspiration for future generations and providing new perspectives for re examining this complex historical figure.
