Threads of Time – Fashion and Style 1870–1940

Helsingborg (S) > 13.04.2025 - 08.02.2026

Dunkers Kulturhus is showing for the first time a larger number of dresses from Helsingborg Museum's collection. The majority have never been exhibited before. The selection consists of dresses, accessories and outerwear from the 1870s to the 1940s. With texts by fashion historian Tonie Lewenhaupt, among others, the visitor is guided through the exhibition from Victorian tournament fashion to fashion inspired by film stars in the 1930s. The history of clothing is part of a story about a place in change and shows how a small provincial town abandons its small-town attire in favor of dressing like a continental metropolis. What the dresses had in common was that they were part of a culture where seeing and being seen was highly valued. In the new city, environments were created for the dressed-up to be seen in, where the city theater's premieres, the concerts in the fountain parks and the art openings were important occasions.
