Jaulas Doradas: Unveiling the Constrained 19th-Century Female Silhouette at Museo del Traje

This exhibition explores the evolution of the constrained and 'caged' female silhouette prevalent in the second half of the 19th century. Through a chronological display of women's clothing and undergarments from the Museo del Traje collection, it highlights key moments in shaping this dominant aesthetic.

Jaulas Doradas (Golden Cages) presents an exhibition of women's fashion garments, focusing on the period's fascination with the constrained and 'caged' silhouette that defined the image and aesthetics of women in the second half of the 19th century. Chronologically, the exhibition highlights the most singular and paradigmatic moments in the configuration of this prevailing shape, achieved through combinations of clothing with inner structures like crinolines and bustles, alongside corsets. Employing the symbolic motif of the 'bird woman,' the exhibition aims to foster a broader reflection that transcends the formal concept of the cage as attire. It delves into wider conceptual ideas about 'golden' beauty and the various 'cages' within the female universe. Through a careful selection of pieces from the Museo del Traje's collection, including women's garments and undergarments, the exhibition underscores the singular moments in shaping the constricting, caged silhouette that dominated 19th-century women's fashion and aesthetics.
