The carefully selected exhibition consists of 110 costumes, 272 accessories and portraits of different eras and covers the period from the 1850s to the 2000s. The exhibition belonging to the Alexander Vassilyev Foundation is one of the largest of its kind in Europe, and Alexander Vassilyev himself is one of the most outstanding fashion collectors in the world. Such a collection will be presented for the first time in Estonia, and what place would be better for that than the resort town of Pärnu with a long history?
