Beadwork, revolution and haute couture – a major new exhibition about Princess Maria Pavlovna
Opening 17 October, this new exhibition tells the remarkable story of Maria Pavlovna – a grand duchess who journeyed from Imperial Russia and Swedish court life to become a successful entrepreneur and collaborator of Coco Chanel in Parisian haute couture. Fashion, embroidery, paintings and photographs reveal a woman who refused to be defined by her title.
