International Wardrobe

INTERNATIONAL WARDROBE is an unusual type of fashion project, conceived by Katharina Koppenwallner.

INTERNATIONAL WARDROBE – THE STORE: Almstadtstrasse 50, 10119 Berlin (next to the Pro qm book store); Regular opening hours: Wednesday- Saturday 12 - 7 pm and by appointment ([email protected]) She travels around the world, beyond the well-trodden paths of the major cities, in search of local and regional folk art. Her principal interest, and the focus

of her research is in the field of folk costumes and other textiles such as traditional hand-made cushion covers. This is no dilettantish, tourism-inspired collector enthusiasm: Koppenwallner is committed to a serious study of specific dress styles, patterns and techniques. She acquires individual garments locally, some of them decades old, and all with a real-world history, having truly belonged to someone, having been made for and duly worn by that individual person, and indeed showing all the signs of wear. While in some cases a garment may undergo slight modification, in principle all are preserved as originals and are made available in due course for purchase. In each case the description of the individual item outlines its context and explains its significance in the cultural history of its country of origin, so that one is not simply buying a jacket or a scarf, but rather a piece of cultural identity complete with historical context. After all, these traditional folkloristic textile traditions are born out of the deep human need for identity, differentiation, or togetherness. Today, this aspect is particularly relevant for indigenous peoples, such as the hill tribes of Southeast Asia. INTERNATIONAL WARDROBE

Since 1937, the Jolka Festival has been celebrated in Russia on New Year’s Day as a substitute for the Christian Christmas, which the Soviets had banned in the October Revolution of 1917. Christmas with all its gifts was considered a capitalist feast for the wealthy bourgeoisie. The prohibition lasting until about 1935 when the New Year’s tree was revived for the children, and celebrated with Soviet ornaments and decorations. The themes of the small glass objects were as secular as the occasion of the festival. There were no angels or Christ children, but things that surrounded people, from traffic lights and cars to flower vases, soccer balls and teapots. In addition, children and grandmothers, fairy-tale characters and again and again Father Frost, the Russian Santa Claus, and his granddaughter Snegurochka. Very important was the department of fruits and vegetables, with garlic, pea pods and eggplant. Another theme complex dealt with the propaganda with hammer & sickle ornaments, soldiers and submarines. And with the world’s first space flight of the Soviets, cosmonauts and rockets became en vogue.
We have a lot of these wonders if glass in stock.
