| Object history | Registered File number 1994/615, Streetstyle exhibition 1994-1995, part of the "Gothik 1986" outfit (includes the skirt T.295-1994, the gloves T.296-1994, the blouse T.294-1994, the cape T.298-1994, the belt T.299.1994, the belt T.300-1994 and the boots T.301-1994). Worn in the mid-80s by Sehnaz Hassan, who said the appeal of this look was "It's unusual, extravagant and ghostly, which reflected my interests in the mysterious. At the same time, it's feminine, dressy, style involved, big hair, lots of make up and jewellery. It was like wearing fancy dress." |
