In The Style Of...

On display April 30 to June 8, 2013

From day to day, season to season, and decade to decade, fashion and image change rapidly.

Explore historic social trends of the 20th century and the way major fashion designers reflect, create and rebel against these trends through their designs, as interpreted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University students.

View original pieces from iconic designers like Yves St. Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier, from fashion historian Ivan Sayers’ vast collection, and explore the relationship between history, fashion and personal style. 

Register for the "In The Style Of..." programs: "Designers of the 20th Century" with Ivan Sayers on May 16 and "Young Curators: Fashion" for 9-12 year olds on May 25.
