From 21 October, the Fashion Museum presents a new exhibition ‘Black, White & Red’, created in collaboration with the Alexandre Vassiliev Foundation. The exhibition offers an insight into the perception and history of three of the most influential colours of all time, seen through the prism of fashion. The exhibits cover the period from the 19th century to the present day.
Every generation tries to dream and invent its own future, but the young generation of the 1960s just leapt into the future – so fast yesterday's dreams became today's reality.
The exhibition features true masterpieces of fashion – dresses and accessories from the 18th century to the present day.
The Fashion Museum’s new exhibition “Mother and Child” spans an impressive period of 150 years: from year 1850 to 2000. On the occasion of the Fashion Museum’s fifth anniversary, the exhibition will feature ladies’ and children’s costumes from the Fashion Museum’s collection, which has grown over the years to include more than two and a half thousand items.
The exhibition features valuable exhibits from Alexandre Vassiliev's Foundation and from the collection of the Fashion Museum – masterpieces created by Italian fashion designers throughout the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century.
Last month! Exhibition is dedicated to the mid-1800s fashion.
The exhibition has been created in collaboration with the Alexandre Vassiliev Foundation and is dedicated to the vivid and extravagant fashions of the 1980’s. The clothes of this colourful period were characterised by the remarkable silhouette of an inverse trapeze, accompanied by voluminous hairstyles. Daring makeup, oversized costume jewellery, bold colour combinations – all these characteristics help us to recognise the style of the 80’s.
The exhibition is devoted to the dazzling 1920’s. This is the time described in “The Great Gatsby” novel. The centre of attention of the exhibition: shoes in Art Deco style complimented by trademark bright clothes of the 20’s – slim dresses decorated with beads and rhinestones.
The new exhibition in Fashion Museum is devoted to the history of the Christian Dior Fashion House and the 70th anniversary of the famous New Look collection. The exhibition features many costumes from the collection of fashion historian Alexandre Vassiliev – costumes created by Christian Dior and his successors, Yves Saint-Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré and John Galliano, all created while they were creative directors of the Christian Dior Fashion House. Exhibition also includes costumes of the 1940’s and costumes created in other famous fashion houses of the 1950’s, including those by Pierre Balmain.
This exhibition has been created in conjunction with the Foundation of Alexandre Vassiliev. It is devoted to the Far East and specifically China. It focuses on China because the Chinese culture has always tempted and influenced artists and fashion designers from all countries and throughout time.
Hollywood divas Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich, renowned couturiers Lucien Lelong, Maggy Rouff, and Elsa Schiaparelli, sport and permanent wave, Art Deco design and the femme fatale image, Great Depression and premonitions of war – those years were glamorous and full of contradictions. Unique and elegant dresses out of the collection of Alexandre Vassiliev, as well as an array of fashion accessories, will provide a full cultural immersion into the era, known as the “pre-war chic”.
