Sew Long! Fashion in Slovakia 1945 – 1989
The functioning of the fashion “machine” in terms of real socialism was carried out under the insistent dictates of totalitarian ideology – the exhibition follows the closely guarded roads and curves, the silent direction of fashion and its promotion, presentation and consumption.
It presents the domestic garment production – from the cooperative manufactures focused on the individualised, almost custom, fashion through the massive segment of ready-to-wear clothing to the studio work of designers fighting to speak from the early 1980s.
