MODE Topic MODE 2024/25 | Clothing as an expression of a political stance

The Second French Empire (1852-1870) was strongly influenced by the sovereign display of court and state. Empress Eugenie played a key role in the carefully staged, glamorous “fête impériale”: her external appearance and her wardrobe dominated public perception.



The historical example makes it possible to grasp complex, sometimes ambivalent connections between political, social, cultural and economic factors in the context of sovereign dress practice and its public reception, which still resonate here and there today.
