Annotation:

The exhibition REVISION: Between Tradition and Invention presents a unique connection between historical costume jewellery and contemporary design. Students from five universities in the Czech Republic and abroad have reinterpreted Art Nouveau and Art Deco costume jewellery from museum collections as contemporary fashion accessories. The project is supported by the Technical University of Liberec, the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, and Trier University of Applied Sciences in Idar-Oberstein.
