Fashion drawing & illustration: 1900s
For most of the first decade of the 20th century, fashion mainly showed seasonal modifications rather than any fundamental changes.

A gift in your will
You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
