Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Queen Maud of Norway, daughter of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, was celebrated for her exquisite fashion sense. Becoming Queen in 1905, she required a diverse wardrobe for various royal occasions, showcasing her exemplary taste. Her collection spans from her wedding trousseau of 1896 to the latest Worth designs just months before her death in 1938, reflecting a remarkable period in fashion history. It captures the evolution from the ornate Victorian styles to the sleek, modern looks of the 1930s. Her wardrobe uniquely encompasses both public and private attire, featuring lavish state gowns and elegant evening dresses for formal events, alongside riding habits, winter sportswear, and tailored suits for casual afternoons with her grandchildren. Throughout her life, Maud engaged with contemporary fashion, commissioning renowned designers such as Worth, Blancquaert, and Morin-Blossier. Her collection exemplifies the high standards of couture dressmaking of the time, with intricately beaded gowns, impeccably tailored suits, and beautifully embroidered dresses showcasing the era's craftsmanship. This exhibition presents some of the most stunning garments from the National Museum of Art/Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Oslo, contextualizing them within Queen Maud's life and the fashion trends of her time.
