GLAMOUR - Serlachius Museum

I visited the Serlachius museum, it is a about 90 km from Tampere in place called Mänttä.
I was surprised how wonderful exhibition there is at the moment going on!

"Since 1950s, the economic growth, development of the film industry and major international productions generated theatre and film costume houses who combined creativity with Italy’s high quality craftsmanship. One of them is Tirelli Costumi, whose costumes have brought to Italy numerous Oscar wins and nominations and other international awards. These include The Taming of the Shrew, starring Elisabeth Taylor, Once Upon a Time in America, directed by Sergio Leone, and Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette."
I have never enjoyed a museum for so long, and I took hundreds of pictures and videos about all those amazing outfits. This was truly a place in heaven, for a clothing designer as my self.

These two dresses were worn by Michelle Pfeiffer, from the film The Age of Innocence, 1993.

This dress was my second favorite dress in whole exhibition. I could remember it from film the Ange of Innocence, wearing by Winona Ryder ( one of my favorite actresses )
Cardinal’s coat from the film The Name of the Rose, 1986

This cape was jsut amazing. Helmut Berger wears a long, hand-embroidered mantle that cost 25 million lire and took professional seamstresses over two months to complete, 1973.

The Leopard, 1963.
This is only copy of the original dress.

Laura Antonelli as Giulina Hermil, The innocent, 1976. Black dress.

Marie Dubois as the Princess, red dress.

Tale of Tales, 2015. Salma Hayek as the Queen of Selvascura.

Vincent Cassel as the King of Roccaforte.

Amadeus, 1984. This movie is one of my favorites.
Original 18th century frock coat in black cloth with floral silk embroidery. F.Murray Abraham as Antonio Salieri.

La Traviata 1982.

Young Pope ( from Netfix ) 2016.

Evening dress

Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette, 2006.

When I looked at all the dresses in the show, I realized how terribly small all the actors are. No wonder some of them are suffering from an eating disorder.

Mary Nighy as Princess Lambelle.

Anna Karenina, 1997. Mia Kirshner as Kitty.

This dress is my absolutely favorite. No need to think about what the next clothing design will look like!
La Traviata, 1853. Maria Callas.
