Abstract

This article discusses the development of fashion exhibitions in museums in London and New York, in order to reflect about the past and present of these specific curatorial practices. It presents the institutions and characters that initiated this phenomenon in its modern version and exposes the problems and controversies that have involved this kind of exhibitions in recent decades. At the same time, it examines the metamorphosis around the contents and forms that have shaped these museums shows and the characteristics of its trajectory in Chile.
