Rococo Reboot! Fashion 1750 - 183

Hasselt (B) > 04.04.2025 - 22.02.2026

Eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century fashion inevitably evokes images of lavish ball gowns in macaron colors, extravagant jewelry, and towering hairstyles adorned with feathers. But does this cinematic image align with historical reality? Rococo Reboot! answers this question and takes you on a fascinating journey through fashion from 1750 to 1830. Through a thematic journey, the exhibition reveals the role of fashion in daily life. Did you know that dressing was a ritual, from lacing a corset to carefully arranging bows and ribbons? That clothing not only served as a status symbol but also contributed to hygiene? Or that city fashion was an entire universe, with specialized luxury boutiques and a love for strolling in parks and salons? This exhibition offers a critical reinterpretation of the Rococo era and its fashion history. Rococo Reboot! breaks through common stereotypes and shows that fashion history is not a series of neatly defined periods but a continuous evolution in which styles and trends are constantly being reinvented. With contemporary insights and sensory experiences, you will discover how fashion from this period continues to influence today.
