Step into a stylish journey through time as History Fort Lauderdale presents “En Vogue: A Florida Fashion Retrospective,” a new free exhibition featuring historic photographs, garments and accessories popularized throughout the 20th century. The showcase invites visitors to explore how clothing reflected and influenced cultural change and everyday life. The exhibition will be on view from March 5 through April 19.

Through archival images and period fashion, “En Vogue: A Florida Fashion Retrospective” explores how clothing reflected changing societal norms, cultural influences, and evolving identities across a century. The exhibition features photographs from iconic, historic South Florida retail locations such as Hartley’s – Miami and Fort Lauderdale (located in the old Sunrise Shopping Center, now Galleria Fort Lauderdale), and Margo Fashions and Dagmar Fashions on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.

From elegant Edwardian silhouettes to the refined glamour of mid-century style and even over-the top ‘90s style, the exhibition highlights fashion as both personal expression and historical record.

Support for History Fort Lauderdale’s “En Vogue: A Florida Fashion Retrospective” exhibit has been provided by the following Funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund, and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund. Additional funding is provided, in part, by Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council and Visit Lauderdale.

History Fort Lauderdale offers a variety of engaging multicultural experiences throughout the year. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent displays including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: The Story of Boatbuilding Along the New River,” “Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” “Viva Fort Lauderdale: Celebrating Hispanic Art & Culture,” “The Growth and History of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office,” and “Take PRIDE, a Retrospective on LGBTQ Life in South Florida.”

History Fort Lauderdale is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with docent-guided tours offered daily at 1, 2, and 3 p.m. Group walking tours are available upon special request.
