Join us for a reception to celebrate the opening of Mantilla: Fashion Unveiled, a new exhibition exploring the history and significance of Spain’s most distinctive garment. The mantilla, a lace veil traditionally worn with a comb called a peineta, is the most recognizable garment in Spanish women’s fashion with origins dating to the 16th century. Featuring paintings, textiles, photographs, books, and works of contemporary fashion, the exhibition traces the remarkable evolution of the mantilla from a symbol of tradition and femininity into a powerful expression of identity and artistic innovation.

This event is open to Hispanic Society members only. Please RSVP via email to events@hispanicsociety.org.
