Fashion collection: From Eleonora Duse to Julie Peters-Desteract
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
This article analyzes a particular branch of the relationship that combines the art and fashion world with focus on the theme of textile collecting, operated by female characters. The area of textile collecting connects and unites the world of art and that of fashion. The study is based on the three-partition proposed by french historian, Julie Verlaine, who divides female art collecting practices into three main types: "collectionneuse", "commanditaire" and "donor". Using this subdivision, I intend to analyze the textile collecting - a phenomenon that is markedly developed by female protagonists - knowing that the analysis of each path denotes the difficulty of a rigid categorization and net boundaries: these practices show indicative, fluid and permeable typologies of collectionists.
