Art Deco Style. Interwar Period Fashion Design

The exhibition "Art Deco Style. Interwar Period Fashion Design" in the Museum of Decorative Arts and Designe is from the private collection Alexandre Vassiliev (Paris) private collection and is dedicated to the European Fashion development in the Interwar Period (1918 - 1939). The leading style of this period was Art Deco. 


  • Fashion silhouettes were created by numerous fashion designers of this decade: Jean Patou, Gabriele Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Callot Soeurs etc., garments by which are exhibited in this Riga show.
  • The beauty standard of the 1920s and 30s was the Swedish - American movie star Greta Garbo.
  • For me was very interesting to see painting and design of this time. And there were lot of interesting moments for me.
