BC, Riga, 01.09.2015.Print version

The exhibition "Invitation to the Centenary Ball. 1915–2015" in Riga presents the most glamorous evening gowns from the private collection of the outstanding fashion historian Alexandre Vassiliev, Paris, reports liveriga.com.

 

What could be more desirable, more romantic than an invitation to the ball? A ball is a combination of music and dance, the aroma of perfumes, sparkling eyes, rustling taffeta material and shining glitter, a haze of tulle and delightful lace patterns… Over the past century, hundreds of designers and tailors have made the attempt to pander to the refined tastes of top-notch customers creatively, in this matchless great fashion genre. Ball gowns continually enrapture and excite, as they embody the female dream!

 

Alexandre Vassiliev’s private couture collection show at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Riga has become a tradition since it is the seventh time that he stages his exhibitions here. This year, the glamorous show brings together the most beautiful costumes characterizing the historical period from 1915 to 2015. It is a celebration of a centenary-long past of fashion, a fashion triumph and the quintessence of beauty. The exhibition comprises unique ball and evening gowns from the latest acquisitions to the Alexandre Vassiliev Foundation.
