Organized in collaboration with prestigious museums in Bucharest and allover the country - The Union Museum in Alba Iulia, the Bucharest Municipality Museum, the Museum Complex in Arad, the National History Museum, the National Museum Complex Moldova - Iasi, the Romanian Literature Museum - Iasi, the exhibition is a miniature history of women’s fashion at the turn of the centuries, the so called „Belle Epoque“, when spectacular transformations in the way garments were imagined and designed. Romanian society at that point in history was living the Western European model of civilization and fashion was following the latest trends of Paris.
The central point of the exhibition are the 120 drawings, reproduction of fashion designs of that time, by famous graphic artists of the age, models that are promoted in fashion magazines in Vienna, Berlin, Budapest and Paris, between 1890 - 1914. Three of these designs were recreated by the fashion designer Liza Panait.
The exhibition presents fashion highlights of the fashion at the turn of the century: the dress of Elena Cuza (a copy designed after the lithography signed by Carol Popp de Szathmary), dresses with petticoats, traveling suits, Art Nouveau pattern blouses, trail skirts, corsets, cloaks. Elegant accessories could not be absent from the exhibition: the traveling kit of Elena Cuza, powder room objects, perfume bottles, jewelery cases, gloves, fans, lornions, sun umbrellas, dance notebooks, hats and sleeves, women boots and shoes etc.
Since women were mainly mothers and wives in that particular age, visitors can also see a newly born trousseau, dated 1902, near vintage photographs.
