"FASHION is an art discipline in which everybody can be an artist"
-
Janina Ipohorska (Jan Kamyczek)From 19 December 2015 to 17 April 2016, the Main Building of the National Museum in Krakow will hold an exhibition titled FASHIONable in Communist Poland which reflects the unique character of fashion in the post-war decades. It features both casual, everyday clothing and creations by prominent designers who worked in Poland in the years 1945-1989.
The exhibition co-organised by tne National Museum in Kraków and National Museum in Wrocław shows how difficult and important was the Polish women's pursuit of fashion in communist Poland. It was often a for of escapism from the drab reality of life. Women wanted to be 'FASHIONable', although the grim reality of empty store shelves did not make it easy. Dozens of items of clothing displayed at the exhibition testify to the creativity and entrepreneurship of the female residents of the Polish People's Republic. Today, these two traits are associated primarily with businesswomen or celebrities, whereas our mothers and grandmothers had to demonstrate them every day.
Today's 'old-school'-themed parties and experimenting with vintage clothes introduce the objects from the past to the present fashion bloodstream and endow them with current meaning.
