This fabulous book of six concertina postcards is a selection of fashion plates reproduced from the gallery's collection and created to coincide with our Dandy Style exhibition.
Dandy Style focuses on men’s fashion and image from the 18th century to the present day. The show explores how concepts such as elegance, uniformity and spectacle have evolved over the last 250 years.
The exhibition highlights a range of examples from Manchester’s collections and will be composed of two main sections: Tailored Dandy and Decorated Dandy. Combining the historic with the contemporary, the provocative with the respectable, the show draws contrasts and comparisons between fashion, art and photography.
The show will also launch our new dedicated Fashion Gallery.
