Bath Fashion Museum




Bath Assembly Rooms; Fashion Museum Bennett St, Bath,
‘Performance to Camera’, Moving image art installations by two leading contemporary practitioners to highlight the theme of performance to camera. Last pic is an original evening dress worn by Margot Fonteyn after a triumphant performance in 1949. Also Bill Gibb, British fashion designer from the 70s, and ‘Dresses from History’,Queen Victoria’s day dress, How short was she? The museum has had a big switch around and there wasn’t much period costume on display hence the new name 'Fashion Museum' instead of the old 'Costume Museum', shame.
