Fairy tales, with their enchanting motifs, have inspired a rich profusion of imagery via interpretations in illustrations, theatre, fashion, and other forms of visual culture. Icons of characters such as the hood of Little Red Riding Hood, the boots of Puss in Boots, and Cinderella’s glass slippers represent the crossing of fairy-tale imagination with fashion sensibilities. ‘Fairy Tale Mode’ examines this presence of fashion in fairy tales, tracing the evolution of associated visual imagery from the perspectives of fashion, art, and design. It focuses on illustrations from the European “golden age” of picture books in the 19th and 20th centuries, with special attention given to women’s wear.
