As some of you already know, fashion history - and fashion and style in generalโare among my hobbies. ๐๐ผ๐ So, Iโd been wanting to visit the Fashion Museum in Riga for quite some time, and it was actually my main reason for going to Riga (which, by the way, turned out to offer so much more).
Right now, thereโs an exhibition dedicated to Art Deco style, featuring some truly fascinating pieces by Coco Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli (one of my favorite couturiers), Jean Patou, and others.
OMG, do I love the details and the delicate craftsmanship in these pieces of art (because honestly, I canโt call them anything else).๐
Personally, I wouldnโt wear most of themโthey feel quite overpowering, like the dress is wearing me, not the other way around. And in my opinion, clothes should showcase the person whoโs wearing them.
But still, it was such a joy to admire these creations and appreciate their beauty for what they are.
