Titanic & Fashion takes you on a captivating journey through time and style, featuring original costumes from the iconic 1997 film Titanic and rarely seen garments from the 1910s. The book explores a revolutionary era in fashion (1908-1918), when corsets were cast off and visionary designers like Coco Chanel and Lucile redefined modern dress. This period of emancipation, technological optimism, and class division echoes many aspects of our world today.<\/p>\n
Combined with works by contemporary designers such as Iris van Herpen and John Galliano for Margiela, the book creates a compelling dialogue between past and present. From dreamy gowns to bold statements, fashion becomes a vehicle for stories of hope, struggle, and identity. Aboard the Titanic, these worlds collided – from wealthy travellers in haute couture to migrants in traditional dress – all aboard a ship that came to symbolise both progress and peril.<\/p>\n
