The correct fashion accessory is as important as the garment itself. Some accessories are no longer in vogue - handkerchiefs, parasols, fans, walking sticks and even gloves. Others remain essential to that proper image - shoes, hats, purses and men's neckwear.
From the collections of the Charleston Museum, Fashion Accessories, a five-part exhibition, will look at these clothing additions that really did complete the image for fashionable men and women in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
The series begins with Fashion Accessories: Shoes, on exhibit January 26 - June 9, 2013. Installed in the study drawer section of the Museum's historic textiles gallery, footwear ranging from early 19th century pattens and delicate satin slippers to formidable boots and high button shoes will be shown.
