Aesthetics, Bohemians, Craftsmen: Artistic Dress 1880s-1920s (Photo right from gallery): From the late 19th century to 20th century, the ever-evolving attitudes and life-styles have been reflected in fashion, leading to what we know as the Artistic Dress Movement. Aesthetes, Bohemians, and Craftsmen are all celebrated as integral parts of this era that brought us away from Victorian wear.
