Silver Screen to Mainstream: American Fashion in the 1930s & ’40s is a new exhibit at the Chicago History Museum that tracks how Hollywood glamour inspired mass-market fashion trends. Showcasing fashions from Paris, New York, Chicago, and Hollywood, the show tells a tale of making it big, making do, and maintaining appearances during a tumultuous era in American history.
