The curator and creator of this riveting show is Robin Muir, sometime Vogue contributing editor, archivist for Condé Nast and inspired chronicler of past (and nurturer of future) icons of style and elegance. As Muir is, in another life, a renowned rider to hounds — indeed, a much-admired Master of Foxhounds, supremely glamorous in his mud-spattered white britches — he has equally enthusiastically followed the scented trail, chased and hunted down every facet of this exhibition’s subject.
He has mounted earlier, smaller shows, but Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World is Muir’s masterpiece.
