FREE Entrance
Jean Muir: A Fashion Icon
This exhibition will display highlights from her amazing career in fashion design for the very first time, using material from a collection that was donated to the National Museums Scotland.
The British designer held a unique place in the international fashion scene, from her emergence in the 1960s to her death in 1995. In Paris, she was 'the new queen of the dress' and in New York 'the jewel in the crown of British fashion'. To her customers she was 'addictive' and in her own words, 'evolutionary, not revolutionary'.
