The Vulgar: Fashion Redefined, Barbican Art Gallery, until February 5, 2017
Those who are concerned about what is or is not in good taste should arm themselves with a healthy smile and head for The Vulgar: Fashion Redefined at the Barbican Art Gallery. Tastes in fashion have been constantly shifting for centuries, and this is manifestly evident in retrospectives like this one. At times, even fashion itself has been accused of being vulgar, with practically every taboo having been broken by now. The London exhibition showcases over 120 outfits and historic costumes, including iconic clothing by Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Miuccia Prada and Vivienne Westwood.
