福尔摩斯：从未存在 永远流传

 

The items on display include a rare manuscript of Edgar Allan Poe's The Murders in Rue⁴ Morgue -- a key influence on Holmes's creator, Arthur Conan Doyle -- and a portrait of Conan Doyle never before seen in public. But alongside these one-of-a-kind historical treasures, visitors will find two curiously⁵ modern artifacts: the coat and dressing⁶ gown worn by Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock, the BBC's 21st-century reboot of the Holmes stories.

 

While these costumes are obvious bait for fanboys (and fangirls) who might not be clued into the Victorian literary sensation behind the modern-day television sensation, they also serve as a reminder⁷ that Holmes's fashion choices, from page to screen, have always launched real-world trends. In Conan Doyle's lifetime, Holmes's name and likeness⁸ were used to advertise pipes and shirts as well as tea, toffee, and mouthwash. More recently, Esquire, FHM, and GQ have advised readers on how to get the Sherlock look. The exhibition provides a retrospective of Sherlockian style, investigating how it has evolved while retaining its instantly recognizable Victorian fashion DNA⁹. The museum even commissioned a Scottish textile mill to create a signature tweed in Holmes's honor, and a concurrent¹⁰ show features fashion photographer Kasia Wozniak's prints made using a 1890 field camera.
