Summary/Abstract: In 2019-2020 three major fashion exhibitions were organized in some of the most prominent museums of Budapest. Two of them were dedicated to individual designers (Clara. Klára Rotschild, Fashion Queen behind the Iron Curtain, Hungarian National Museum, curator: Ildikó Simonovics; Tamás Király. Out of the Box. Ludwig Museum, curator: Katalin Timár) and the third one presented an insight into the glamorous interpretation of Fashion with a capital F in itself (Shine! Fashion and Glamour, Kiscell Museum, curator: Anna Judit Szatmári). The major novelty of the three curatorial enterprises is the endemic and local nature of the displayed collections. The paper aims to summarize some methodological issues of reviewing fashion exhibitions building upon the three above-mentioned examples.
