Do not expect to see cups in pastel colours in the Brussels style, formica bathrooms, nylon aprons, polyamide shirts and reel-to-reel tape recorders. Come and be inspired by beauty that does not age, even after decades. The individual parts of the exhibition will show the connection between past and present.

Do you know which Czech companies follow the First Republic tradition? What inspires them, and which of the more modern forms and technologies continue to build on proven and popular products?

Do you think fashion is ephemeral? In recent years, the patterns and some of the styles of the past have been making a come-back, and thanks to this, clothing and accessories are becoming timeless.  Dozens of vintage dresses and accessories from the collections of the National Museum are displayed in the context of modern clothes by famous fashion designers, and from boutiques to ready-to-wear clothing. Everything is set against contemporary backdrops that connect fashion with technology, designer furniture and the applied arts.
