Dress of the Year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Dress Of The Year)

Dress of the Year exhibit at the Fashion Museum, Bath. From left to right, outfits by Christopher Kane (2013), Mary Quant (1963), and John Galliano (1987).

The Dress of the Year is an annual fashion award run by the Fashion Museum, Bath since 1963. Each year since 1963, the Museum has asked a fashion journalist to select a dress or outfit that best represents the most important new ideas in contemporary fashion.[1] For 2010 the Museum broke with tradition by asking the milliner Stephen Jones, rather than a journalist, to choose an outfit;[2] and again in 2014 when the fashion blogger, Susanna Lau of Style Bubble, was asked to choose an outfit for 2013.[3] The outfit is then donated to the Fashion Museum along with an Adel Rootstein mannequin to represent that year's total look.[1]
