New Fashions for the New Woman, 1900–1950 is now on display at the Art Gallery, on the University of York campus. The exhibition explores the rise of the 'New Woman' and how changing styles reflected broader shifts in society. Professor Cordula van Wyhe from the University of York’s department of history of art said: "Central to the exhibition is the emergence of new materials that revolutionised clothing in the early twentieth century. The exhibition is curated by students from the university’s History of Art department and runs until March 31, 2026. The display examines how changing social expectations, increased financial independence, and expanding leisure opportunities influenced the way women dressed, and how the fashion industry responded.
