ISEM Fashion Business School presents the exhibition "The Cooperative of Spanish Haute Couture", an exhibition that includes pieces of "The Big Five" creators of the twentieth century in Spain, as well as a design by Elio Berhanyer and a Balenciaga, all belonging to the Lopez-Trabado Collection.
Created by Pedro Rodríguez in 1940, the Cooperativa de la Alta Costura Española aimed to show the changes and trends imposed by fashion in those decades. Among all the creators of the twentieth century, Santa Eulalia, El Dique Flotante, Asunción Bastida and Manuel Pertegaz, along with Pedro Rodríguez himself, stood out for their high quality, novelty and wider dissemination. The exhibition includes a piece by each of these couturiers.
About twenty professionals from the sector and related to multi-brand stores attended the session.
In addition, given their recognition as key figures in the rise of Spanish Haute Couture, the exhibition also features a dress signed by Cristóbal Balenciaga and another piece designed by Elio Berhanyer.
The exhibition can be visited until March 28th from 9:00h to 20:00h at ISEM Fashion Business School (C/Marquesado de Santa Marta, 3).
