A fashion icon in her own time, the dress and interiors adopted by Marie Antoinette in the final decades of the 18th century have had a lasting influence over 250 years of design, fashion, film and the decorative arts.
Through a wide range of objects, from her own surviving possessions to 21st-century couturier’s gowns such as those of John Galliano for Dior and Alexander McQueen, this richly illustrated book explores how and why the ill-fated Queen of France has provided a constant source of inspiration. It considers afresh the legacy of a complex figure whose style, youth and notoriety have all contributed to her timeless appeal.
