The Fashion Museum in Ludwigsburg Palace

From grand gowns to mini-skirts!

The fashions worn by men and women at the royal courts of Europe during the Rococo period are at the heart of this unique collection. But as well as gorgeous gowns and frock coats from that era, there are shoes, hats, handbags and fans. Also on display are designs by all the 20th century’s big names: Charles Frederick Worth and Paul Poiret; Christian Dior and Coco Chanel; right up to Issey Miyake and Yamamoto. And, you can also see what was worn underneath, from petticoats, chemises and corsets to crinolines and stockings.
