Fashion Victims: Dress at the Court of Louis XVI

Dr. Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, an art historian specializing in fashion and textiles, presents her newest book, Fashion Victims: Dress at the Court of Louis XVI, an engrossing chronicle of one of the most exciting, controversial, and extravagant periods in the history of fashion: the reign of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette in 18th-century France. Chrisman-Campbell offers a carefully researched glimpse into the turbulent era’s sophisticated and largely female-dominated fashion industry. 

Following the lecture, the author will sign copies of her book, available in the Museum Store. 

After 3:00 p.m. the day of the event, tickets will no longer be available online but can be purchased at the Visitor Services Desks at the Dallas Museum of Art.
