Around 80 major paintings, including works by Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Tissot, and several works never before shown in the U.S., are displayed with period costumes, accessories, fashion plates, photographs, and popular prints to illustrate the vital relationship between fashion and art from the mid-1860s to the mid-1880s, the era when Paris emerged as the style capital of the world.
