Many fashion lovers are naturally drawn to the beauty of art, but with the current Covid-19 situation, it’s not possible to pay a visit to the museum to enjoy and appreciate artwork.

That’s where Google Arts and Culture (artsandculture.google.com) comes in. It is one of the biggest online platforms that allows the public to view high-resolution images of artwork and artifacts from over 2,000 museums worldwide.

From fashion’s most loved icon Frida Kahlo to renowned photographer Irving Penn, here are five of our favourite fashion exhibitions you can visit on your computer, or via its mobile application.

From her origin story to her chronic illness (which inspired her work), Faces of Frida gives you an inside look into her life’s legacy.

Visit Faces of Frida here.

This French city is known for its glamour as its Chateau was once the location of the royal residence. Now, you can take an inside peek at the opulence and style of Versailles’ residents (including the iconic Marie Antoinette) before the French Revolution, which still continue to inspire contemporary designers.

There is another exciting opportunity to see Penn’s work in Asia. At JINGART 2019 in Beijing, through Sunday, June 2, three of Penn’s iconic fashion photographs are on display in Pace Gallery’s booth at A-17 (Beijing Exhibition Center). Pictured here, a preview of one of the three: Balenciaga Rose Dress, 1967. @jingart_bj @pacegallery #IrvingPenn #fashion

Did you know that Elsa Schiaparelli was one of the most prominent fashion figures in the ’20s alongside Coco Chanel? She’s known for playing up traditional garbs with bold accents to create bizarre, surrealist statement pieces. These pieces are now viewable online.

A Series of 10 collage, for #schiaparellihautecouture by @danielroseberry : Each #collage is digitally composed using photographic and illustrative elements captured before and during the development of each collection. Used in tandem with hand illustrations, these show the relationship between color and volume, and often bring concepts for embroidery and fabric manipulation. #schiaparelli #danielroseberry
