Swedish National Maritime and Transport Museums, Stockholm, S3562. Photos Peter McNeil Eurasian Fashion Fashion is transient, short lived and fragile. Yet it is also mutable and open to translations and transformations across media and genres. Professor McNeil will examine a series of artefacts that were fashions themselves: from Chinese export ceramics depicting fashions and fashionability, to reverse-painted portrait mirrors made for European traders. Professor McNeil argues for the inclusion of the decorative arts within wider accounts of Eurasian fashion culture as well as the importance of cross-cultural, comparative and transnational studies.
