Featured Collection: Influencing Fashion
December 18, 2025 through mid-April, 2026
The current What We Wore display in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation explores fashion magazines and catalogs that have inspired millions of eager "fashionistas" with the latest styles. Nancy Johnson's 1980s Vogue advertisements come to life, paired with matching garments that sweep the viewer into a romanticized fantasy of elegance, mood and sophistication. A timeline of enticing images from catalogs and magazines — like Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Ebony — show how publications have served as style guides, spreading news of trends to those eager to keep up with the latest looks.
