Heroines: Fashion and Hope in World War II
Design Museum Holon | From 31 March
The new exhibition at Design Museum Holon invites visitors on a journey through time, back to a turbulent era of global upheaval and unrest, exploring the stories of women during World War II. Fashion may not be the first thing that comes to mind in the context of World War II, but it played an important role throughout this period. During the war, fashion transformed into something entirely unprecedented, and this exhibition unveils its powerful influence during a time of existential crisis. “Heroines” examines the role of clothes and apparel in the stories of women who discovered ways to navigate an impossible reality, preserve their humanity, and cling to hope against all odds. The exhibition showcases dozens of complete ensembles, hundreds of accessories, alongside video footage, photographs, and other historical artifacts that bring these remarkable stories to life.
