Gerbesin and the Hessians
Just open the wardrobe, there are memories hanging on every hanger
The fabrics, the patterns, the colours! It's not just about clothes, it's about life and feminine charms. Successful actress and writer Ivanka Devátá knows very well, that clothes make the woman, and fondly reminisces about his theatrical and civilian costumes, Skirts, blouses, shoes and hats. It invites us to the times of master tailoring, when tailoring was done at Podolska's or at the Styl salon, and to more modest times when dresses were inherited and altered. The author's wardrobe is transformed into an album of memories of when she was still "cruelly young", while leaving no one in doubt that personal style defies time and cannot be bought even in the most expensive salon.
