Marie Antoinette Style, an interview with Dr. Sarah Grant
This week we cinch our corsets and plump our panniers with an inside look into the Victoria & Albert Museum's exhibition Marie Antoinette Style. Curator Dr. Sarah Grant joins us to speak about her exhibition which examines The Queen of Fashion's enduring influence on fashion then and now. Rare examples of Marie Antoinette's personal belongings are featured alongside supreme examples of 18th century fashion, accessories and the decorative arts, while more contemporary pieces evidence designer's centuries long obsession with the former French queen.
Recommended reading: Grant, Sarah, ed. Marie Antoinette Style. London: V&A Publishing, 2025.
