Join us for a thought-provoking Saturday exploring the women who turned fashion into art — from the ateliers of Paris to a landmark exhibition here in Berlin. 📋 **Agenda** 🥐 **Brunch & Lecture: When Art Meets Fashion** — We'll meet for a cosy brunch with croissants, viennoiserie, and coffee/tea — included in the participation fee. Alongside, I'll trace the women who turned fashion into art — from Rose Bertin, Marie Antoinette's "Minister of Fashion," to Schiaparelli and Chanel, and through to Iris van Herpen today — showing how they used cloth the way sculptors use stone, and challenged what fashion was allowed to mean. 🖼️ **Many Shades of Grès: Fashion Becomes Art at Kunstgewerbemuseum**: Then we'll head to the Kulturforum for the first exhibition of its kind in the German-speaking world dedicated to Madame Grès — one of the most important couturières of the 20th century, who once said her scissors were her most important tool. The show brings together 25 of her draped, sculptural gowns alongside ancient sculpture and paintings from the Antikensammlung and Gemäldegalerie — placing her work in direct dialogue with the classical forms that inspired it. 📅 **Date & Time:** Saturday, 18.07 · 11:30 📍 **Brunch location:** Exact address shared with attendees 1 day before the event 📍 **Exhibition:** Kunstgewerbemuseum, Kulturforum, Johanna und Eduard Arnhold Platz, 10785 Berlin 💶 **Participation Fee:** 30 EUR (brunch included; exhibition entry not included — tickets available at the museum) 📌 **RSVP required** — intimate group, spots are limited ✅ **Event Info & FAQ** 🕐 **How long will it last?** The full experience runs approximately 4–5 hours, including brunch, lecture, and exhibition visit. 💶 **Payment — How do I pay?** Participation fee is paid on the day — cash or PayPal.
