Art, fashion and taste in a global context

Abstract

• Regency dress was shaped as much by the Neoclassical art movement and Greco-Roman dress as it was by Enlightenment theories and ambitions of Empire. In turn, fashion was depicted in classical art, sculpture and pottery. This final episode in the series explores the relationship between art and fashion as our panel discuss what defined taste in a global context during the 18th and 19th centuries.
