The preservation of cultural and artistic heritage, raising awareness of cultural values, elevating aesthetic and artistic values, expressing historical styles, reflecting social, cultural, and economic facets of daily life, and serving as information hubs with research opportunities are all reasons why fashion exhibitions and museums are so important. While clothing exhibitions originally took the form of ethnographic exhibitions featuring historical garments, they have now evolved into creative and dynamic exhibitions featuring the creations of modern fashion designers, installations, and sensory-appealing display spaces. In this context, the goal is to discuss the history of fashion museums, categorize and define fashion exhibitions, look at current fashion museums, and emphasize the significance of these institutions. This descriptive study reviewed clothing-fashion shows from the 2000s to the present; fashion exhibitions that incorporate on-site observations and conclusions to enrich and diversify them stylistically, contextually, and spatially are classified. By combining interesting exhibition themes, new museology, new technologies, and innovative space design, fashion exhibitions give visitors one-of-a-kind experiences.
