| Art, Exhibitions -- Ottoman empire -- Women's clothesGeneral note: The “Elegance from Past to Future” exhibition focuses on the transformation in costume that began when palace and urban women began to follow European fashions in the 19th century and gathered momentum with the proclamation of the Republic. This process is examined against the background of women’s changing role in modern life and the rights they gained.
Fashion history is not confined to garments themselves but can also be interpreted in terms of changes in lifestyle and their social consequences. Radical changes took place in costume during the last century of the Ottoman Empire and the early years of the Turkish Republic. So one aspect of the “Elegance from Past to Future” exhibition is the way it reflects the role of women in society and how that role underwent increasing change. Women who had been granted equal rights under the new Civil Code and had modern educational opportunities wished to express their identities through their dress, and in this way became mirrors of modernisation in Turkey.
