Featuring a curated selection of approximately 220 garments and accessories from various eras spanning four centuries, the pieces are intricately linked by the overarching theme of nature, symbolizing the ephemeral nature of fashion. Visitors are encouraged to engage their senses by exploring the aromatic narratives of hats adorned with floral motifs, feeling the textured embroidery on gallery walls, and witnessing the constraining effect of the "hobble skirt" from the early 20th century through Pepper's ghost illusion technique.
