Historical Fashion Show: Titanic Fashion

Experience the enchantment

What someone’s wardrobe looked like depended on age, wealth, and gender. These class differences were also reflected in the outfits worn aboard the Titanic — from stylish suits, feathered hats, and elegant eveningwear for the elite to practical blouses, caps, and work aprons for third-class passengers. The fashion show not only reveals the style of the era around 1912 but also mirrors society at the end of the rapidly changing Belle Époque.
