Feathers and fashion have always had a love affair. Throughout centuries the application of feathers has rendered fashion and haute couture with an extraordinary level of refinement and elegance.

Just think of the femininity, luxury and wealth of the ostrich and marabou feathers on ladies’ hats in the time of the the belle époque (1871-1914). The immense popularity of feathers during the period led to the near-extinction of certain birds.

The roaring twenties signified the true heyday of feathers. Flapper girls donned feathers on their hats, boas and dresses. Their feathers swayed as they danced to the beat of the charleston.

But there is a heavier side to the lightness of feathers too. There is a sense of dark romance and loss of innocence to feathers, probably best exemplified by contemporary fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen and Ann Demeulemeester.

Europeana Fashion Conference in London, 9 April

Missoni mirroed

On 9 April the second International Europeana Fashion Conference will take place at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (V&A).  The conference examines the fascinating intersection of fashion archives and the digital world.

In the light of the V&A’s latest exhibition “The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945-2014”, the conference approaches the theme “Made in Italy: re-use of fashion heritage and new digital perspectives” from the view of Italian fashion houses, museums and archives.

These institutions do not only guard brands’ cultures and histories, they play an active role in the creativity and production of these brands. Nowadays managing heritage does not mean to just look back at the past,  but instead to make the values from the past relevant in contemporary contexts. The materials kept in archives inspire future collections, are used  in marketing campaigns and form the heart of exhibitions and fashion film.

Now that archives are starting to show their materials on the Internet, more and more people can discover and re-use these materials. This opening up of archives to a large audience combined with the power of archives to inspire new forms of fashion culture is the topic of  this conference.

Speakers include Jane Reeve, CEO of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, and Luca Missoni, Creative Director at Missoni as well as noted fashion historians such as Amandia Triossi from the Bulgari Heritage Collection.

The conference is the second in a series of three annual international conferences organised by Europeana Fashion that explores the relationship between the fashion industry, the digital world and the Internet.

Pucci’s Palio Collection

Our new image of the month is an exquisite silhouette from Emilio Pucci’s 1957 Palio Collection. This collection was inspired by the biannual horse race held in Siena and took form in prints infused with aspects of glamourous Italian life.

The cotton dress above is one of the highlights of Palio Collection. The colours and patterns represent the coat of arms of each “Contrade” (district) of Siena: “Civetta”, “Lupa”, “Montone”, “Chiocciola”, “Giraffa”, “Torre”, “Bruco” and “Oca”.

These coats of arms were to be found in the costumes and flags of each district, but Emilio Pucci reworked the prints  into scarves, shirts, trousers and dresses. Each print was an intricate combination of up to ten different colors. The prints were prominent in his 1950s designs and earned Pucci the Neiman Marcus award in 1957.

Items in the collection have been gathered over the past five decades from Jewish communities worldwide. They include dresses, suits, wedding outfits, undergarments, and children’s clothing from both secular and religious Jewish culture.

It will be easy to find IMJ’s items  in the portal as the museum has also contributed fashion terms in Hebrew. That means you can search the entire portal with Hebrew terms and that you can use search terms specific for Jewish dress.
