This vibrant publication brings to life four centuries of extraordinary garments and accessories inspired by the natural world Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion explores clothing's complex relationship with the body through the senses, offering new ways for understanding and experiencing a garment's inherent artistry. Engaging texts by scholars, scientists, and conservators reveal the history behind over 200 works of fashion while also addressing their fragility and ephemerality.
