Amazing exhibition in holon about heroines of WW2 through fashion. From wedding gowns made from parachute silk, beautifull prints on flour bags that would be then made into dresses and maps printed on silk and then sewn into dresses. Why bright red lipstick became such a hit during the war and how the designs of one amazing female haute couture designer from Prague, who perished in the war led to an incredible exhibit of the strength of women and the resilience of another who survived and built a Bathing suit empire here in israel that would be worn by members of royalty. The curators talk led us through from the start till the end on how the amazing exhibit came together and how ideas were formed.
I Highly recommend going to see it.
