Fashionable Memories. Clothes from Tonie Lewenhaupt´s collection
European fashion history, the social context of clothing, Tonie Lewenhaupt´s act as a collector as well as the poetic potentials of fashion are themes addressed in the exhibition, where the clothes will be displayed along with her historical illustrations of fashion. In The Thiel Gallery, once a private home, the clothes will be placed in a unique setting. The costumes will also animate the rooms as places to meet, to be seen and show off.
