Paris, Milan, New York, Tokyo are famous world fashion centres and that goes without saying. But in small city like Vamberk - is it possible to touch on fashion world? Why not! On Tuesday we took part in fashion show in Vamberk and we really enjoyed it! It was something new and attractive for us to see collection of dresses mixed up with lace accessories and ornaments.
Additionally we did some sightseeing in Muzeum Krajki. We saw there an exhibition dedicated to the lace-making of course. To my knowledge lace from Vamberk has grand and long tradition and is recognised and valued not only in Czech Republic but also abroad. But this visit and short film on display at the museum we watched awakened me to the seriousness of the making of laces. We were all impressed!
Lace-making is an ancient craft. Today in the age of machine-made lace it looks quite different but the classic handicraft is a challenging job: you have to be patient, split-second and concentrated.
In conclusion: That's not true small cities haven't a rich cultural life and nothing happens there. You just have to look around and take every opportunity - just like we did. The fashion show was well worth visiting.
