JERUSALEM POST
ISRAEL---The first comprehensive exhibition of its kind, brings together an array of traditional apparel from the 18th through the 20th centuries from the Museum’s world-renowned collection of Jewish dress. The exhibition features over 100 costumes from four continents in a visually rich display that showcases the colors, textures, history and symbolism of clothing. Opening the door to garments deep within the Jewish wardrobe, the exhibition presents clothing as representative of such universal human themes as identity and memory. “Dress Codes” offers a cross-cultural celebration of the history of Jewish dress and the ways in which traditional clothing has stimulated fashion design throughout history and continues to inspire the styles of today. Israel Museum: "Dress Codes: Revealing the Jewish Wardrobe" (Ends October 25). [link]
