Silk and Velvet

Silk and Velvet
From the 4th September 2010 to the 9th January 2011 it is possible to admire, at the Fortuny Museum in Venice, a selection of Delphos dresses, the famous dresses made of silk and velvet created by the Venetian maestro Mariano Fortuny.

These plissé dresses, become now legendary, are exposed together with capes, cloaks, costumes and accessories, coming from American private collections. This is how they come back to the laboratory where they were made and confectioned – wrapped in soft “papier-soie” and put into elegant boxes.

Today, thanks to Keith H. Mc Coy and the Raid Family’s generosity, it is possible to admire these fine manufactures, resulted from the genius of Mariano Fortuny and his wife Henriette Nigrin, and exposed at the first floor of the Fortuny Palace.
