Alexander Vasiliev. Lecture 'Fashion Geniuses'

FASHION GENIUSES

What distinguishes fashion geniuses from other designers whom we call famous or brilliant? Talent, creativity, and the ability to create something new? Mastery? Or an outstanding ability to capture and anticipate the changing mood of society and to understand better than others where culture is heading? Or perhaps courage, unwavering self-confidence, persistence, and luck?

In his lecture, fashion historian and collector Alexander Vasiliev will reveal the most fascinating and unusual stories about the great fashion designers, as well as the rise and fall of the fashion houses they created, and their far-reaching influence on fashion and taste many decades later.
