As wise people say, you should always try to look at the bright side… So, if on the one hand Fall brings fewer hours of sunlight and colder temperatures, on the other hand it encourages us to go to museums and enjoy the exhibitions we most like. Regarding fashion-related exhibitions, there are lots of new ones coming up these seasons, joining the ones that are already open, whose success exceeded all expectations.
If you’re fashion lovers, like we are, and you enjoy spending cold Autumn days at the museum, make a note of these 5 exhibitions… But make sure you go see them quickly, because some of them will close in a matter of weeks!
