The ‘Little Black Dress’ – or ‘LBD’ – first captured the fashionable imagination in the 1920s, as a radically modern, masculine-inspired style, free from the earlier constraints on women’s dress.

Our exhibition, Beyond the Little Black Dress (until 29 October), brings together 65 looks from museums and designers around the world. Over one third of these looks come from the museum’s permanent collection – representing a chance both to showcase some of our collections held in storage and to acquire new pieces for the national collection. Examine its evolution and reinvention in popular culture in the 20th and 21st centuries, through garments from our collection.

黑色小禮服（又稱「小黑裙」）在二十世紀二十年代首次亮相時裝界，風靡整個時尚圈。小黑裙設計融入現代風格，剪裁呈現陽剛之氣，徹底打破當時社會對女性裙裝所戴上枷鎖。

《小黑裙的背後》展覽（展出至2023年10月29日）展出65件時裝設計，當中超過三分之一的展品來自博物館館藏，其餘出自世界各地設計師之手。本次展覽不但讓本館得以展出珍稀藏品，更添置了許多珍貴展品。讓我們一同穿梭在20世紀和21世紀之間，見證時裝設計在流行文化中如何不斷變革、重新演繹，成為當下的面貌。
