A celebration of over 100 years of catwalk history

A UK exclusive to V&A Dundee, Catwalk: The Art of the Fashion Show charts the dramatic evolution of the catwalk, from the private salons of the late 19th century to today’s immersive, live-streamed runway experiences.

Celebrating the creativity and energy of the fashion show, Catwalk: The Art of the Fashion Show brings together landmark examples from renowned houses including Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Maison Margiela, Vivienne Westwood, Mary Quant, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Charles Jeffrey, among others.

Through a rich mix of film, photography, original garments, and archival materials, the exhibition marks seminal moments from iconic runway presentations throughout the last century and explores their lasting cultural impact. Join us to discover the spectacle, innovation and artistry behind some of fashion’s most legendary moments.

Catwalk: The Art of the Fashion Show is a new exhibition by V&A Dundee and the Vitra Design Museum.
