New for Now: The Origin of Fashion Magazines is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It is a delightful and enchanting exhibition that provides a panoramic view of European fashionistas from across the centuries. The collection of fashion magazine prints compiled by the Rijksmuseum
spans from 15th-19th century providing a unique and fun exploration of personal
human aesthetics. We see the bouffant hairstyles and wide-brimmed skirts of 18th century trendsetter, Marie Antoinette. The original long-hired hipsters was known as 'Les Incroyables'. To the new shorter, looser silouettes of the 20s and 30s. To walk stroll through, you see the evolution of fashion, illustration, and technology. In addition to the hundreds of exquisite prints on display, there are two new animated commissions by Piet Paris and Quentin Jones inspired by and created for this exhibition.
