As a decade of design, the Thirties saw off the excess of the Jazz Age and ushered in the utilitarianism of World War II.
As the flapper grew up, so too did her fashions. The new silhouettes of the 1930s played with the hard edged chic seen in the Art Deco and Moderne styles, the unexpected as seen in the surrealists and the sensuality of silver screen sirens.
The exhibition will explore the day and evening styles of the decade, complemented by photographs of the stars who championed them.
