Exhibition Fries Museum,  Leeuwarden 13/ Feb. - 18 Jul. 2021

This book presents embroidery in fashion. It includes clothes and accessories that were made or worn in the Netherlands from the late 16th century until today, and range from 18th-century men's waistcoats to Roaring Twenties dresses and the latest creations by Gucci and Balmain. Readers will discover the splendour associated with embroidery, with luxurious materials such as gold thread, pearls, velvet and silk, but also the craft itself. Sophisticated techniques and delicate silk thread testify to the thousands of hours it sometimes took to make just a single garment. Embroidery in fashion expresses identity and status: people wore it to signal membership of a social group or to stand out from the crowd. It is also the 'white' thread that runs through important moments in life such as birth, baptism and marriage. But above all, embroidery is an indispensable part of the latest fashion trends, which ladies and gentlemen have been proud to show off for centuries. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Fries Museum in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden, from 13 February-18 July 2021. Text in Dutch with an introduction in English.

The starting point for this two-part catalog is the collection of 'Sits and printed cotton from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries' of the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden. This is actually the exhibition catalog, part 1.                          This shiny, hand-painted cotton fabric from India was used extensively in clothing and interiors in Friesland. It describes how the east-west relationship influenced the development of the motifs and how sit and European printed cotton were used in these periods in Friesland for men's, women's, children's and puppet wear and interiors. The Hindeloper costume receives special attention. Painting techniques used for the site are treated. This self-contained book contains drawings, photos (color and black-and-white), a glossary and a literature assignment. Cover shows in color a detail of a piece sits.

Wybrand de Geest, Fries Museum Leeuwarden

I had heard so much about this exhibition and I finally went. It was a long train trip but I enjoyed it. Wybrand was a master in painting portraits and I love the way he painted fabrics. They seem so real. He painted many children's portraits as well.
