Swagger: Gentlemen of Fashion

  • Art
  • Exhibition

The adornment, surroundings, and behaviour of fashionable gentlemen reveal their unique tastes and style.

Inspired by interior decoration and the performance of fashionability, Swagger examines the life of an English gentleman of the 1700s and 1800s. Each room of Fairhall, an 1860s townhouse in East ³Ô¹ÏÍø, has been re-imagined to evoke the worlds of Regency rakes, dandies, military figures, and men of business and leisure.

Explore treasures of British and European fine and decorative arts from The Johnston Collection displayed in the intimate, domestic setting of Fairhall. Discover stories of young men on their Grand Tour of Europe; the treasures they selected on their travels; the clubs they visited; and the toil of valets and staff who enabled their fashionable lives.

Step behind the sartorial scenes to experience the sociability, elegance, and style of Georgian and Regency gentlemen at The Johnston Collection.

Table tray set with coffee pot and cup and saucer.
Special offer Twilight Tour

Enjoy a glass of wine on arrival and an intimate twilight exhibition tour. Wed 24 Sep, 6–7pm
