As part of our 2025 Virtual Fashion Week, the National Arts Club presents Dr. Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, author of Fashion Victims: Dress at the Court of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette for an exploration 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. This turbulent era’s sophisticated and largely female-dominated fashion industry both produced courtly finery and promoted a thriving secondhand clothing market outside the royal circle. Chrisman-Campbell will illuminate the exceptionally imaginative and uninhibited styles of the period immediately before the French Revolution, as well as fashion’s surprising influence on the course of the Revolution itself.
