Fashion Exhibitions in Museums: How Europe and the US Are Reframing Fashion as Culture
Fashion exhibitions Across Europe and the US, a powerful wave of exhibitions is reframing fashion, not just as design, but as cultural memory, identity, politics, and lived experience. From Limerick to Venice, Belfast to New York, institutions are making the compelling argument that fashion belongs in the museum, not as spectacle alone, but as a vital cultural language.
Fashion exhibitions in Ireland explore heritage and identity
In Ireland, exhibitions like The Hunt Museum’s fashion programming in Limerick signal a growing recognition that clothing carries deeply local narratives of craft, class, and community. These shows remind us that fashion is not only about couture houses but about regional identity: who we are, how we present ourselves, and what we inherit.
That idea is echoed strongly at the Ulster Museum, where fashion and textiles are embedded within a broader historical collection in the Ashes to Fashion exhibition. With thousands of garments destroyed in the Malone House fire in 1976, the Ulster Museum has worked to build its collection back through acquisitions, and the feature of the fire’s sole survivor, the Lennox Quilt, an exquisite 18th-century embroidered quilt that only survived due to it being on display at the time of the fire. Now, the museum showcases pieces from designers including the late Paul Costelloe, JW Anderson and Alexander McQueen.
The Northern Threads exhibition at Titanic Belfast, extends this narrative, focusing on textile heritage and the labour behind it. These exhibitions root fashion in place, showing how industry, craft, and identity intertwine. They challenge the assumption that fashion is inherently global by revealing how deeply it is also local.
While Irish institutions emphasise heritage, major international museums are pushing fashion further into the realm of conceptual art. At London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art makes the case explicit. The exhibition explores Elsa Schiaparelli’s collaborations with surrealist artists and her radical approach to dress as a medium of artistic expression. With over 200 objects, it dissolves the boundary between gallery and wardrobe, presenting garments as imaginative, even subversive, works.
Over in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art continues this dialogue through its Costume Institute. Its latest exhibition examines the relationship between clothing and the body, positioning fashion as a way of thinking about identity, movement, and perception. The Met’s annual fashion exhibitions are much more than the annual gala event and have long blurred the line between spectacle and scholarship, but their continued expansion signals something deeper: fashion is now central to how museums engage audiences. We applaud the contribution of Irish activist to this show.
In Venice, the Fondazione Dries Van Noten offers a different perspective. Its inaugural exhibition, The Only True Protest is Beauty, expands the conversation to include art, craft, and the philosophy of making. Rather than focusing solely on garments, it explores the role of craftsmanship and the human drive toward beauty. Fashion here becomes a gateway into something broader: a meditation on creativity itself. This shift is significant. It suggests that fashion exhibitions are no longer confined to fashion, they are becoming interdisciplinary spaces where art, design, and culture intersect.
What ties these exhibitions together is not just their subject matter, but their insistence that fashion is a cultural experience. Museums have always been spaces of storytelling. By embracing fashion, they gain access to stories that are immediate and embodied. Clothing is intimate; it touches the skin, moves with the body, and signals identity in ways that paintings or sculptures often cannot. It carries memory of eras, of individuals, of movements.

Madonna Performs in Custom Dolce & Gabbana at “Grindr Presents: Madonna LIVE in New York”
Madonna made a dramatic style statement while performing at “Grindr Presents: Madonna LIVE in New York,” an exclusive event held in Times Square on June 4, 2026.

For the occasion, the music icon wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana ensemble that combined the house’s signature sensuality with theatrical glamour. The look featured a pink chiffon teddy trimmed with delicate lace detailing designed to accentuate the waist. A satin and lace waist cincher was layered over a light blue satin balconette bra, creating a striking contrast of color and texture.
Madonna completed the look with long pink tulle gloves layered over lace fingerless gloves, while sheer tulle hold-up stockings finished with lace trims added to the lingerie-inspired aesthetic.
Styled by Saint Rita, the custom ensemble embodied Madonna’s fearless approach to fashion, blending vintage boudoir influences with contemporary stage glamour. The singer has long been known for pushing boundaries through both music and style, and this latest Dolce & Gabbana creation continued that tradition.
The exclusive Times Square performance drew fans from across New York City, with Madonna once again proving that she remains one of fashion and entertainment’s most enduring style icons.

Alas, Sephora’s sunscreen kit is sold out — but I actually think this one from Dermstore is better.
First, this one has almost every reader favorite sunscreen that you can legally buy in America — Elta MD, Supergoop, and Roche Posay — as well as a sunscreen spray, mineral sunscreen, and while I don’t know much about the Paula’s Choice one, I trust the brand and like that they describe it as “brightens, moisturizes, and leaves a radiant, soft glow.”
I also like that there are a variety of sizes here — some super mini “deluxe samples” to throw into your bag, as well as some bigger sizes, and many TSA-approved sizes.
The kit is a $208 value for $75 (at least for now, full price is $100).

Best Dressed at the 2026 Tony Awards: Jeremy Pope, Danielle Brooks, Queen Latifah, and More
Broadway’s biggest night brought out some of the most memorable fashion moments of the year. The 79th Annual Tony Awards, held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, delivered red carpet looks that ranged from dramatic couture to sharp tailoring. Fashion Bomb Daily was on the scene to break down the best dressed.

Jeremy Pope set the tone early, arriving in a Robert Wun Spring 2026 Couture black and white ombre pleated gown with a structured blazer, dramatic cape sleeves, and a wide-brim hat. The Broadway star made an undeniable statement, cementing his place as one of the evening’s most talked-about style moments.
Danielle Brooks kept it glamorous in a Wiederhoeft SS26 RTW silver crystal embellished off-shoulder fitted gown, styled by stylist D. Hawk. The look was equal parts Old Hollywood and modern luxury.
Queen Latifah commanded the carpet in a Naeem Khan Fall 2017 black iridescent feather cape with sheer beaded collar detail — a throwback piece that still felt entirely of the moment.
Ayesha Curry turned heads in a Monse Resort 2027 red halter fringe ombre maxi gown, styled by Jason Bolden. The look was bold, graphic, and perfectly tailored to the drama of the evening.
Sarah Paulson arrived alongside Ella Beatty, stepping out in Erdem Fall/Winter 2026 RTW, styled by Karla Welch. Paulson’s look was refined and quietly powerful — a masterclass in understated elegance. Beatty complemented her in Tom Ford for Gucci.
On the men’s side, Leslie Odom Jr. brought downtown cool to the red carpet in a Public School FW26 Men’s red satin bomber jacket paired with black trousers and a tie, styled by Avo Yermagyan. Law Roach kept it sleek and sophisticated in a Louis Vuitton black satin-lapel double-breasted tuxedo blazer, finished with a floral brooch.
Law Roach, who co-produced CATS: The Jellicle Ball, kept it sleek and sophisticated in a Louis Vuitton black satin-lapel double-breasted tuxedo blazer, finished with a floral brooch and worn open with a relaxed confidence that only he could pull off.
Usher and Jenn Goicoechea arrived as a true fashion couple — Usher in a Tom Ford brown leather blazer with black shirt and trousers, while Goicoechea wore a Fjolla Haxhismajli nude and black geometric sequin plunge neck fitted gown. Both were styled by Jeremy Haynes.
From couture to contemporary, the 2026 Tony Awards proved that Broadway’s fashion game is second to none.

What Took You Too Long to Learn About Work?
This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

I was looking at a few of our older career advice articles, and it got me thinking about something I don’t think we’ve discussed before: what took you TOO LONG to learn about work? Was it something about office politics, promotions, networking, compensation, leadership, boundaries, burnout, job-hopping, professional friendships, or something else entirely?
When I look back on my own career, there are a number of things that seem obvious in retrospect but took me years to figure out. Some were lessons I had technically heard before but didn’t really understand until I experienced them firsthand. Others were things nobody told me at all.
For example:
- Doing excellent work is important, but it doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be recognized or promoted.
- Your job is not your career, and your career is not your life.
- Inspiring confidence in your work is often just as important as doing good work.
- Making your boss look good matters — but so does making sure you get credit for your own work.
- Professional relationships are often built in the spaces between the work, and people generally prefer to work with people they know, like, and trust.
- Sometimes the fastest way to get a raise is to change jobs.
- If you want to advance into leadership, learn how the business actually makes money.
- A good manager can dramatically affect your day-to-day happiness.
- A bad manager can dramatically affect your day-to-day happiness, too — don’t stay under one longer than you have to.
Readers, I’m curious — what took you too long to learn about work? Was it something about office politics, promotions, networking, compensation, leadership, boundaries, burnout, job-hopping, professional friendships, or something else entirely?
And when did you finally learn it — the hard way or the easy way?

WeWoreWhat x DIFF Eyewear
Danielle Bernstein x DIFF Eyewear – four NYC-inspired silhouettes designed to live on your face, in every bag, on repeat.
Months in the making. Worn on every corner of the city before a single pair hit the site. That’s the thing about designing something you actually use, you don’t have to guess if it works. You just know.
The Danielle Bernstein x DIFF collection is four frames. That’s it. Not because we ran out of ideas. An oversized shield for the days you want to disappear into the city. A sleek narrow silhouette for when you need to look like you just came from somewhere. A classic aviator, because some things exist for a reason. And an everyday cat-eye that goes with everything you already own.
All NYC-inspired. Not in a “yellow taxi graphic tee” way. In a “this is what it looks like to get dressed with intention at 7am and still be wearing it at midnight” way.
“Elevated without the price tag. That part was non-negotiable.”
DIFF does polarized lenses better than brands charging three times the price, that’s not a hot take, that’s just a fact. Danielle wore them for months before the collab was even official. The collection is the result of wearing something until you know exactly what you’d change, and then actually changing it.
Four frames. All NYC. All designed to become part of the uniform – the rotation you reach for without thinking, the pair you keep a backup of, the ones your friends are going to ask about every single time.
They drop 06.09.26. And if you’re in the city, there’s a reason to be on Ludlow at 5pm.

Graham Norton backs call for a white wine emoji
Broadcaster and presenter Graham Norton has joined the global push for a dedicated white wine emoji, sharing his support for the campaign on social media. Norton, who is a shareholder in Invivo, the New Zealand wine and spirits company behind the Graham Norton wine range, has added his voice to the so‑called Emojency – a movement calling on the Unicode Consortium to introduce a white wine emoji.
Supporters say the absence is increasingly out of step with modern wine culture, with white wine widely consumed globally, yet only red and sparkling wine are currently represented in emoji form.
Graham Norton joins global campaign for a white wine emoji
The campaign is led by New Zealand Winegrowers and has attracted growing international support from wine lovers, producers and public figures. The Unicode Consortium approves new emojis, but proposals must meet strict criteria. New Zealand Winegrowers will be making the formal submission on 17 July – World Emoji Day.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Sometimes the internet knows what I want before I do. This sweater from Akris Punto has been showing up in all kinds of targeted ads for the last week or two. I’ve been avoiding clicking through because I know it’s out of my price range, but it’s just so lovely! The green color is beautiful, and the flower intarsia is just my style.
Sadly, it won’t be making its way to my closet, but if your budget allows, this would be a great option for summer.

June Forecast – Julia Berolzheimer
Summer is upon us, well, almost! The kids are out of school and we’re in the final stretch of being home until we leave for a majority of the summer months. As excited as I am, there’s so much prep that goes into packing, for both our family and my work. So a lot of my day to day has been hitting deadlines before we leave! We’ll continue to work throughout our trip, but prep work ahead of time is essential to not falling behind initially. Here’s a look at the month ahead!
What We’re Doing
- I have two big design reviews before we leave, one for a collaboration launching later this fall and the other launching pre-holiday. Both are totally different and in differing categories, so it’s fun to work on them simultaneously.
- We’ll be renovating our kitchen while we’re away, so we’ve had to pack everything up ahead of time. I can’t wait to see it all come together in August!
- We’re starting our summer travels off in Paris. I’m looking forward to being back with the girls. Last time we were there they were 1.5 and almost 4, so it’ll be an entirely different experience this time.
- We’ve booked all of our Paris restaurants for next week! Here are a few we’re hitting up this time: Gigi, Le Renommée, Le Grand Café, Le Bon Georges and Chez Janou.
- After Paris, we’re going to Spain for a little over two weeks, traveling between Mallorca, Menorca and Marbella until the beginning of July. Here’s what I’m packing for Spain.
- We’re heading to a concert this week with friends, and I’ve been torn on what to wear that’s comfy, playful and good for the heat. I think I’ll do a mini like this one or this one with a white tank top and sandals.
What I’m Wearing
What I’m Buying
- I’ve had my eye on this embroidered Valentino bag and I’m obsessed
- A re-fill on a favorite face SPF
- This cute set for Spain: top and shorts
- I recently bought this Loretta Caponi dress on sale
- This bikini
- A new Donde Estaban dress that feels like all the right vibes for Spain. I can’t decide between the mini or maxi and the pareo too
- I am obsessed with Kroma’s bone broths. I’ve been drinking a mix of chicken or beef daily, and it’s a great way to easily hit my protein goals. I’ll be traveling with these individual packets this summer
- A very good jacket, even if I may not need it for months (we’ll be in Switzerland and Austria later this summer, so it’ll work then!
- These look comfortable enough to walk a good distance in to dinner while traveling, so I’m trying them out
- Also restocking on a favorite natural deodorant of mine (I switched fully over in January and I’m very proud I stuck through the tough stinky bit!)
- The new Follow Suit collection can’t be missed. The “heritage paisley” is my favorite: top and bottoms
- I also ordered myself a new set of chartreuse packing cubes
