Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! The aesthetics of fashion are constantly changing and with it our perception of what looks good. Join Curator of Collections, Clara Berg, for an intimate in-person, one-hour session to view the historic fashions in MOHAI’s collection which were once stylish but don’t translate well to our modern eyes. What do you think-is it fabulous or frightful?
