Exhibition "The trousseau
of the Queen of May - Marie-José of Savoy"
Fondation Mona Bismarck - Centre culturel amériacain - Paris, France
Thanks to the scenographer of the exhibition, the renowned couturier
Mr. Hubert de Givenchy, the Mona Bismarck Foundation had on show, for
the first time in France, an exhibition of ceremonial court mantles and
gowns – part of the Queen's trousseau, or wedding chest. When Queen
Marie-José left Italy in the wake of the 1946 referendum, several
trunks travelled with her. Inside them one of her attendants had
carefully packed a collection of gowns and mantles which, over the
previous sixteen years, had accompanied the Princess of Piedmont on her
official duties. Sixty years later they are still in perfect
condition.

This exhibition provided an overview of court dresses of Queen

unconventional character. In this exhibition, visitors could recognise
her flair for wearing a resolutely modern style within the traditions
of the court.
