Come to a special tour of the exhibition French Fashion, Women, and the First World War led by curators Maude Bass-Krueger (BGC PhD 2016) and Sophie Kurkdjian. Learn about the fashions that defined this pivotal moment in French history, including never-before-seen garments from the archives of major designers such as Jeanne Lanvin and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel; mourning wear; and clothing worn by nurses, ambulance drivers, and remplaçantes (women who took on jobs previously done by men who were now away at the Front).
