Sporting Fashion: Outdoor Girls 1800 to 1960, the first exhibition to explore the evolution of women’s sporting attire in Western fashion, will run at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens February 28 - May 19, 2024.
Sporting Fashion: Outdoor Girls 1800 to 1960 highlights the attire that defined women’s participation in the sporting world. The exhibition contains more than 60 ensembles worn for a variety of outdoor activities during the 19th and 20th centuries, including swimming, fencing, tennis, golf, motorcycling, and piloting. The exceptional collection of garments and accessories explores how fashion met the needs of new pursuits for women, while at the same time preserving their socially-approved mobility.
The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is the final stop of the exhibition’s national tour, which began on July 3, 2021 at The Frick Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. This exhibition is organized by the American Federation of the Arts and FIDM Museum at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, Los Angeles.
