Costume collection presentation

LA BELLE MATINEUSE

by Latvian costume designer Irēna Gaša

It all began one sunny morning…
Sun – the most ancient symbol since the Middle Stone Age.
Circle – past, present, future.

It all began with an embroidered corset on the dummy. Spain, France and now – Latvia. The court of Ludwig XIV in France – body shapes moulded by corsets and the richness of flounces, lace, jabots, glittering embroidery. Hot red, sophisticated black, powerful gold and subtle greyish white hiding the very soul. Welcome to the exhibition of the fashion designer Irēna Gaša at the art gallery PUTTI! Her new collection is like a contemporary baroque promenade accompanied by a full range of powerful emotions.
