THE BEST OF INTIMA – BIANNUAL – FEBRUARY 2008 - (Page 166)

Exclusive HE Though exclusively worn by men for a long time, the mid-19th century saw hosiery become a significant feature of female apparel. Nevertheless, the stocking remained hidden for decades, furtively glimpsed only on rare occasions when a woman would raise her dress slightly to step off a sidewalk or climb into a carriage. It would take until the 20s for the leg, and hence the stocking, to finally be exposed. The stocking is a direct testimony to the phases of the history of fashion and to the evolution of the female status and the liberation of her body and image. The Best of Intima guides you through a temporary exposition held at the theTroyes Museum of Modern Art, in France. STORY
